New Technique Improves Conversion of Carbon Dioxide Into Liquid Fuels

Carbon dioxide (CO2), a product of burning fossil fuels and the most prevalent greenhouse gas, has the potential to be sustainably converted back into useful fuels. A promising route for turning CO2 emissions into a fuel feedstock is a process known as electrochemical reduction. But to be commercially viable, the process needs to be improved,

Barton Blakeley Technologies develops first-of-its-kind carbon capture facility in Hertfordshire

Barton Blakeley Technologies (BBT) has developed the first carbon conversion system, converting CO2 emissions into hydrophobic silica. The technology, known as HYPER Xi, converts waste carbon dioxide into materials used in a wide range of industries that manufacture everyday products. The material is used for various functions such as waterproofing, thickening, thinning, anti-microbial functionality, and support

CEMEX und Carbon Clean arbeiten an CO2-Abscheidungsprojekt in Deutschland

In der Anfangsphase dieses Projekts sollen 100 Tonnen CO2 pro Tag in der Anlage abgeschieden und mit Wasserstoff aus erneuerbaren Quellen kombiniert werden, um umweltfreundlichere synthetische Kohlenwasserstoffe herzustellen, die in anderen Industrien verwendet werden können. Ziel ist es dann, die CO2-Abscheidung um weitere 300 Tonnen pro Tag zu erhöhen und Wasserstoff aus einer eigenen Pipeline zu verwenden. Beide Projektstufen sind

Recycling CO2 to fuel a carbon-neutral future

Multifunctional catalysts that transform captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and other valuable petrochemicals have been developed at KAUST and are set to enable a sustainable greener economy independent of conventional fossil fuels. The catalysts could help reverse the ever-increasing release of CO2 by preventing new emissions without requiring a radical overhaul of existing infrastructure,

CO2-Recycling als Treibstoff für eine kohlenstoffneutrale Zukunft

An der KAUST wurden multifunktionale Katalysatoren entwickelt, die abgeschiedenes Kohlendioxid (CO2) in Kraftstoffe und andere wertvolle Petrochemikalien umwandeln und eine nachhaltige, umweltfreundlichere Wirtschaft unabhängig von herkömmlichen fossilen Brennstoffen ermöglichen sollen. Die Katalysatoren könnten dazu beitragen, die ständig zunehmende Freisetzung von CO2 umzukehren, indem sie neue Emissionen verhindern, ohne eine radikale Überholung der bestehenden Infrastruktur zu

Life cycle assessment of carbon capture

In our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, carbon capture is mentioned as a possible technology. CO2 can, for example, be captured from large industrial companies and from incineration plants. However, like all other technologies, carbon capture leaves its own imprint on the outside world. DTU Environment has therefore conducted a life cycle analysis, which

Liquid fuels from carbon dioxide: Electrocatalyst converts CO2 into multicarbon products

A new electrocatalyst called a-CuTi@Cu converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into liquid fuels. As reported by a team of Chinese researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie, active copper centered on an amorphous copper/titanium alloy produces ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency. Most of our global energy demands are still being met by burning fossil fuels, which contributes
