BGU researchers developing more efficient process for hydrogenation of CO2 to synthetic crude

Green Car Congress

The basic idea behind the synthesis is the combination of two well-known reactions: the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) and the Reverse Water-Gas Shift (RWGS). The BGU crude oil process produces hydrogen from water, which is mixed with carbon dioxide captured from external sources and synthetic gas (syngas). — BGU’s Prof.

Roskill: Green magnesium moving to commercial reality; China’s dominance under threat?

Green Car Congress

Then came the rapid ascent of production in China and with it a flood of low-cost magnesium. There would probably not be any production in Israel if the Dead Sea were not already being exploited for other commodities. The source of magnesium can be from sea water, brine, dolomite, magnesite, and carnallite.
