Direct methanol fuel cell (DMEC)Reducing the emissions of the main anthropogenic greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), is one of the major challenges of this century. A partial solution to these environmental problems could be the capture and the conversion of carbon dioxide. The ...
The scientists have dubbed their discovery a “twist to waste-to-fuel technology”. While the discovered process converts carbon dioxide into ethanol, which when burned as fuel emits more carbon dioxide, which could be reconverted back into more fuel, and so on, don’t expect this to be of...

The conversion of carbon dioxide to long-chain hydrocarbons is potentially crucial to the production of renewable fuels. Now, two separate research groups in China have developed multifunctional catalysts that can convert CO2and hydrogen to gasoline, which comprises hydrocarbons with chain lengths betwe...
Today, airplanes pump a lot of climate-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But someday, carbon dioxide sucked from the atmosphere could be used to power airplanes. A new iron-based catalyst converts carbon dioxide into jet fuel, researchers r
Wu said advances in fuel production from carbon dioxide make him more confident that humans will set foot on Mars in his lifetime. “Right now if you want to come back from Mars, you would need to bring twice as much fuel, which is very heavy,” he said. “And in the future, you...
membrane into working reactors and coupling the reactor with the fuel production system. They are examining how this method could be scaled up and how it compares to other approaches to capturing and convertingcarbon dioxide emissions, in terms of both costs and effects on overall power plant ...

Fuel cells efficiently convert chemical energy to electricity in a silent and environmentally friendly way. They are believed to be a promising alternative power source to traditional mobile and stationary sources, such as the internal combustion engine and coal burning power plants. Among the various...
