New material captures carbon dioxide
The captured CO2 can be converted into useful organic materials
15-Oct-2019
A new material that can selectively capture carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules and efficiently convert them into useful organic materials has been developed by researchers at Kyoto University, along with colleagues at the University of Tokyo and Jiangsu Normal University in China. They describe the ...
Converting carbon dioxide to valuable resources with the help of nanoparticles
30-Sep-2019
Enzymes use cascade reactions to produce complex molecules from comparatively simple raw materials. Researchers have now copied this principle. An international research team has used nanoparticles to convert carbon dioxide into valuable raw materials. Scientists at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in ...
New route to carbon-neutral fuels from carbon dioxide discovered
18-Sep-2019
If the idea of flying on battery-powered commercial jets makes you nervous, you can relax a little. Researchers have discovered a practical starting point for converting carbon dioxide into sustainable liquid fuels, including fuels for heavier modes of transportation that may prove very difficult ...
Climeworks AG and Antecy B.V. are joining forces
10-Sep-2019
Climeworks AG and Antecy B.V. share the same goal of removing climate-relevant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere and joining forces renders this goal more achievable. The combination of their technologies will result in even more powerful solutions for both carbon dioxide removal, as well as ...
A new way to make valuable chemicals
Research creates process that advances the field of carbon utilization
28-Aug-2019
In an effort to develop sustainable solutions to humanity's energy needs, many scientists are studying carbon capture and utilization -- the practice of using excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or from point sources, instead of fossil fuels, to synthesize chemicals used to make everyday ...
In the active centre of carbon dioxide conversion
Scientists reveal the features of efficient carboxylase enzymes
12-Jul-2019
In order to overcome the climate crisis, two measures are required: The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and removal of CO2 from the earth atmosphere. The latter is the goal of Tobias Erb's research group at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg. Their ...
Producing Graphene from Carbon Dioxide
Direct Synthesis of Technological Material Graphene from Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide
10-Jul-2019
The general public knows the chemical compound of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and because of its global-warming effect. However, carbon dioxide can also be a useful raw material for chemical reactions. A working group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has now ...
Recycling carbon dioxide from the ocean
Floating power plants
11-Jun-2019
Paper, tin cans, glass - the world recycles as much as possible. So why not declare the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) a recycling product as well? Liquid fuels based on carbon will continue to play an important role in the future - despite international efforts to reduce them. So it seems ...
Chemicals from carbon dioxide – with plasma and perovskite membranes
06-Jun-2019
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB and the University of Stuttgart aim to use the climate-damaging greenhouse gas carbon dioxide as a raw material for the production of chemicals. To do this, they are developing a combined plasma and membrane ...
Artificial photosynthesis transforms carbon dioxide into liquefiable fuels
24-May-2019
Chemists at the University of Illinois have successfully produced fuels using water, carbon dioxide and visible light through artificial photosynthesis. By converting carbon dioxide into more complex molecules like propane, green energy technology is now one step closer to using excess CO2 to ...
