A parallel step to the fuel conversion is the separation of the by-product of hydrolysis, glycerol, from the sweet water. This step increases the energy efficiency of the process as well as minimizes waste streams. Then the glycerol is combusted to provide energy for the entire process. Step 3: Cracking and reforming.

We’re taking carbon dioxide, a waste product of combustion, and we’re pushing that combustion reaction backwards with very high selectivity to a useful fuel. The researchers’ initial analysis suggests that the spiky textured surface of the catalysts provides ample reactive sites to facilitate the carbon dioxide-to-ethanol conversion.
