ACS Meeting Symposium Focuses on Conversion and Utilization of CO2 for Fuels and Chemicals

Green Car Congress

However, with the increasing awareness of the impact CO 2 has on the environment more and more attention is being directed at how to mitigate the effects CO 2 has as a greenhouse gas. Our research proposes the utilization of CO 2 into fuel, recycling the gas and using it as a raw material rather than a waste product.
