The article deals with the joint venture forged by Australian underground coal gasification (UCG) firm Linc Energy with compatriot firm BioCleanCoal to develop a bioreactor that would allow greenhouse gas emitters to convert their carbon dioxide through a photosynthesis process to oxygen and solid ...
A climate-friendly option would use a high temperature nuclear reactor to split water. The hydrogen (H2 ) would be used in the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) to react with carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to produce carbon monoxide (CO) and water. The oxygen (O2 ) would be fed into a ...
a Aerobic respiration is a series of reactions that converts glucose to CO2 and gives off energy. It relies on free oxygen as the final acceptor for electrons and hydrogens and generates a relatively large amount of ATP. Fermentation enables anaerobic and facultative microbes to survive in ...
As part of the goals of the Paris Climate Accords, we must decrease fossil fuel-related CO2 in the atmosphere. One way to do this, and at the same time produce sustainable fuels, is to split CO2 molecules into carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen. The CO could then be used to make fuels...
“A process able to convert CO2 into a more reactive molecule such as an oxalate that contains two carbons opens up a cascade of reaction processes that can be used to synthesise a variety of products,” Archer said, noting that the configuration of the electrochemical cell will be dependent ...
Electrolysis, the process of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, requires an electric current. At an industrial scale, fossil fuels are typically required to generate this electricity. Recently, scientists have decreased the voltage required for water splitting by introducing a carbon source to ...
Process for the hydrocarbonylation of methanol to ethanol in the presence of added oxygen-containing organic compounds Ethanol is produced by reacting methanol with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at temperatures in the range 150° to 250° C. and pressures greater than 100 bar in the presence of a...
Development of efficient catalysts for selective electroreduction of CO2 to high-value products is essential for the deployment of carbon utilization technologies. Here we present a scalable method for preparing Cu electrocatalysts that favor CO2 convers
A method is disclosed for the addition of an oxygen-containing gas under certain defined process conditions, to an off-gas stream derived from an FCC regenerator which is operated in a partial mode of combustion. The off-gas from the regenerator contains 1-6% CO by volume and at least 300...
oxygen-free conditions. During this process, the organic material is mixed with water to create a slurry with high moisture content (typically above 85%). The slurry is then fed into large tanks, where microorganisms break down the material into biogas and digestate. The facility will then con...
