"Innovative Engineering Solution Converts Carbon Dioxide into Valuable Products"

MIT chemical engineers have developed an efficient method to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using electricity and a DNA-tethered catalyst, which can then be used to produce useful compounds like ethanol and other fuels. This process, if scaled up for industrial use, could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other sources. The technology, developed by MIT's Ariel Furst and her team, has the potential for commercial use through a company called Helix Carbon, and could contribute to the decarbonization of various industries.
