Norwegian researchers have developed a microbial reactor that efficiently converts CO2 and hydrogen into high-purity methane, offering a sustainable way to store renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, using biofilms and careful process control.
MIT chemical engineers have developed a groundbreaking method to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using a DNA-tethered catalytic process, offering a new pathway for producing valuable chemicals and potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale. The process, which uses electricity and a catalyst tethered to an electrode surface by DNA, has shown a 100% Faradaic efficiency, making it a promising technology for industrial use and commercial applications.
Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill have discovered a method to efficiently convert carbon monoxide (CO) into methanol (CH3OH) using renewable organic hydrides and sunlight. This process, powered by sunlight, occurs at room temperature and ambient pressure, and could be part of a strategy to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into easily transportable and storable liquid fuel, offering a potential solution to the challenge of CO2 emissions.
