Scientists Accidentally Turn Carbon Dioxide into Ethanol FuelPowell, Ellen
has developed an engineering process that allows cyanobacteria to use electricity to turn carbon dioxide into ethylene or acetate. In their paper published in the journalEnergy & Environmental Science, the group describes their technique and its possible use as an energy storage system. ...
HEFEI, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have developed a new catalyst to convert carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, into methanol, widely considered a clean fuel for engines. A research team, led by Zeng Jie with the University of Science and Technology of China, developed a cata...
"While we can't literally turn back time, turning carbon dioxide back into coal and burying it back in the ground is a bit like rewinding the emissions clock," RMIT researcher Dr Torben Daeneke said. "To date, CO2 has only been converted into a solid at extremely high temperatures, makin...
"What this technology does is take something that we have viewed as a nuisance—carbon dioxide that's emitted from smokestacks—and turn it into something valuable," said J.R. DeShazo, professor of public policy at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and director of the UCLA Luskin ...

As well as potentially being able to produce hydrogen for fuel cells, the complex new material could also be used to turn carbon dioxide from the air into a carbon-based fuel, such as methanol. Dr Ricardo Grau-Crespo, from the Chemistry Department of the University of Reading, led the team...
Researchers in the USC Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute have developed a method of harnessing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, while producing hydrogen for fuel cells.

This is not the first time New England has been forced to rely heavily of dirtier fuel oil. In January 2018, during a prolonged cold snap. The grid’s fleet of gas-fired power stations started burning fuel oil after failing to secure enough gas. Carbon dioxide emissions more than d...
Municipal wastewater pumped into the bags would then startthe cycle all over again. Such a process would mainly rely on the energy of the oceanwaves to mix the algae, as well as sunlight and carbon dioxide. The offshorelocations and the wide oceans would also have more than enough room to...
