Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. The bonding of carbon to carbon requires heat and great pressure, making the process expensive and energy intensive. That would be a big deal.
