International research project achieves record in converting carbon dioxide into fuels

In an international research project involving the Technische Universität Ilmenau, scientists have succeeded in developing a sunlight-powered device that converts carbon dioxide directly into usable fuels with an efficiency of over five percent. This brings closer the goal of not only eliminating the harmful greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, but also converting it into high-quality fuels.

Internationales Forschungsprojekt erzielt Rekordwert bei Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid in Brennstoffe

In einem internationalen Forschungsprojekt mit Beteiligung der Technischen Universität Ilmenau ist es Wissenschaftlern gelungen, ein mit Sonnenlicht betriebenes Bauelement zu entwickeln, das Kohlendioxid mit einem Wirkungsgrad von über fünf Prozent direkt in nutzbare Brennstoffe konvertiert. Damit ist das Ziel näher gerückt, das schädliche Treibhausgas Kohlendioxid nicht nur zu beseitigen, sondern es in hochwertige Treibstoffe umzuwandeln.

Mitsubishi Heavy readies launch of compact carbon capture units

Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is preparing to launch a line of compact carbon capture units next year as demand for the technology spreads across industries and to smaller businesses. Carbon capture, utility, and storage (CCUS) is used most commonly to trap carbon dioxide produced by thermal power plants and large factories. The captured carbon is
