BGU researchers developing more efficient process for hydrogenation of CO2 to synthetic crude

Green Car Congress

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers are developing a process to hydrogenate carbon dioxide to produce a renewable alternative for crude oil. The basic idea behind the synthesis is the combination of two well-known reactions: the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) and the Reverse Water-Gas Shift (RWGS). — BGU’s Prof.

Graphene Flagship team develops powerful graphene-titania photocatalyst to reduce NOx

Green Car Congress

By performing liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite—a process that creates graphene—in the presence of titania nanoparticles, using only water and atmospheric pressure, they created a new graphene-titania nanocomposite that can be coated on the surface of materials to passively remove pollutants from the air.
