Montauk Renewables signs LOI with European Energy to provide CO2 for e-methanol production in Texas

Green Car Congress

EE North America intends to construct a Power-to-X facility in Texas that would take the biogenic CO 2 from Montauk’s locations and use it in the production of e-methanol. Montauk Renewables captures methane, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere, and converts it into either RNG or electrical power for the electrical grid.

UCLA team proposes non-photosynthetic biological conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

A team at UCLA is introducing a biological yet non-photosynthetic CO 2 reduction mechanism that has the potential to yield environmental and economic benefits via CO 2 -derived high-value products. Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae. Acetogenic microbes (e.g., an and Park.

Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. The conversion reaction also produces light olefins—ethylene, propylene, and butenes—totalling a yield of 8.7%. and selectivity to C 8 –C 16 hydrocarbons of 47.8%

Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. The study will drive further research into how to develop a practical industrial catalyst for selectively converting CO 2 into ethanol.
