A new catalyst for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into chemicals or fuels has been developed by researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the University of Duisburg-Essen. They optimized ...

Jesús Velázquez, assistant professor of chemistry and Louise Berben, professor of chemistry are taking part in a new program to research converting carbon dioxide to fuels and chemicals. The project, ...

April 7 (UPI) --Technologies designed to convert CO2 into biofuels and useful chemicals have mostly been confined to the laboratory, limited in their scale and efficiency -- until now. Engineers in ...

The technology developed by the NETL team uses a solar powered reactor and a special form of gold nanoparticles to turn CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. It has the potential to help enable ...

Reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the most pressing concerns facing the world today. Cutting back the amount of CO2 that's newly pumped into the air is vital, but it might not be ...

A 200 L hybrid photobioreactor converts industrial CO2 into biodegradable plastic using indigenous microalgae, enhancing ...

Using nanoscale filtering membranes, researchers at MIT have added a simple intermediate step that makes the process of removing carbon dioxide from the air more efficient. Removing carbon dioxide ...

Scientists have long sought ways to convert abundant CO2 to useful products such as chemicals and fuel. As early as in 1869, they were able to electrocatalytically convert CO2 to formic acid. Over the ...

A water-based plasma method creates stable multimetal nanoparticles with a protective shell that improves light driven carbon dioxide conversion, offering a practical path to efficient carbon ...

Researchers have demonstrated a room-temperature method that could significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in fossil-fuel power plant exhaust, one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the ...
