Researchers at MIT have developed a method that could significantly boost the performance of carbon capture and conversion systems that use catalytic surfaces to enhance the rates of carbon-sequestering electrochemical reactions. This output can help to subsidize the process, offsetting the costs of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The oxy-combustion process replaces the air used for combustion with a mixture of oxygen and recycled plant emissions (flue gas) and/or water for temperature control. The CDCL process consists of a unique moving bed reactor where pulverized coal is fully converted using iron-based oxygen carriers. Gas Technology Institute.

Today’s technologies for making biofuels all rely on photosynthesis—either indirectly by converting plants to fuels or directly by harnessing photosynthetic organisms such as algae. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Water will be the primary byproduct. Engineering E.

The new MIT proces converts furfural into GVL via a series of cascading (domino-like) reactions catalyzed by zeolites with Lewis and Brønsted acid sites. The new MIT production method, described in the June 11 issue of the journal Angewandte Chemie , eliminates both of those obstacles. Credit: Bui et al. Click to enlarge.

The oxidative coupling of methane converts methane into ethane and ethylene (C 2 hydrocarbons). In the OCM reaction, methane (CH 4 ) is activated on the catalyst surface, forming methyl free radicals (CH 3 ) which then couple in the gas phase to form ethane (C 2 H 6 ). ” —Alex Tkachenko.
