Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. We can create gasoline, basically. A paper on their work is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). —Zhou et al.

Qingjie Ge at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in China has developed an efficient, stable, and multifunctional Na-Fe 3 O 4 /HZSM-5 catalyst for the direct production of gasoline-range hydrocarbons from CO 2 hydrogenation. The gasoline fractions are mainly isoparaffins and aromatics, thus favoring the octane number.

The cooperation aims to develop a new technology to produce advanced bio-propanol from glycerin, a side stream of the production of industrial biodiesel (FAME, fatty acid methyl ester), that Eni will purchase from European producers. Propanol obtained via this innovative method can be easily added as a drop-in bio-fuel component to gasoline.

Chain elongation resulted in the selective (78% on a carbon basis) production of butyric acid, a valuable chemical used in pharmaceuticals, farming, perfumes, and the chemical industry. At an applied current of 1.0 mA cm −2 , the study achieved an average production rate of 14.5 g m −2 d −1 of butyric acid. Romans-Casas et al.
