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. None of the three components examined in the study is able to individually catalyze the CO 2 -to-ethanol conversion, nor can they in pairs.

The average car stays on the road for over eight years; meaning that even if the whole world switched to buying 100% electric cars tomorrow, it would still take almost a decade for today’s internal combustion engines to be off the road. Clearly we aren’t switching to 100% electric vehicles tomorrow, so that’s not fast enough.
