Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. There has been much work on carbon dioxide conversion to methanol, yet ethanol has many advantages over methanol.

Panasonic develops highly efficient artificial photosynthesis system with gallium nitride semiconductor for conversion of CO2 to formic acid

Green Car Congress

Panasonic has developed an artificial photosynthesis system using a gallium nitride photoelectrode and a metal catalyst which uses sunlight to convert CO 2 mainly to formic acid (an important intermediate in chemical synthesis) at an efficiency (solar energy to chemical energy) of 0.2%—a Click to enlarge. Hiroshi Hashiba et al.

AVZ signs binding SC6 offtake agreement with major Chinese lithium converter Yibin Tianyi, supplier to CATL

Green Car Congress

Yibin Tianyi will require approximately 700,000mt per year of SC6 to satisfy its internal demand after commissioning its planned hydroxide plant expansions. We are very pleased to conclude our discussions with Yibin Tianyi and to sign another binding offtake agreement for SC6 to a Chinese converter.

RWTH Aachen researchers report on two methods to convert CO2 to chemicals and fuels

Green Car Congress

The two studies were published in separate issues of the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. Our results with formic acid demonstrate that the systematic implementation of modern solvent techniques in continuous reactor equipment makes it possible to perform conversions that cannot be achieved under conventional conditions.

SEMA sponsors ZEV conversion rebate bill in California; up to $2,000 rebate

Green Car Congress

Portantino (D-25) and Josh Newman (D-29) introduced Senate Bill 301 , a bill sponsored by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), to create a financial rebate program for converting gas and diesel-powered motor vehicles into zero-emissions-vehicles (ZEVs). Eligible converted ZEVs would need a range of at least 100 miles.

New ORNL novel composite catalyst for cost-effective ethanol-to-jet-fuel conversion

Green Car Congress

In the first step of a multi-step ethanol-to-jet-fuel process earlier developed by DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL’s), a catalyst is used to convert ethanol into butene-rich C 3+ olefins, important intermediates that can then be processed into aviation fuels. The research was published in ACS Catalysis. —Zhenglong Li.
