New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using renewable energy could establish a climate-neutral, artificial carbon cycle. Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. These could then be burned as needed.

DOE to award up to $30M for direct air and ocean capture of CO2; conversion to fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

Selected projects will support the cost and performance goals of DOE’s Carbon Negative Shot initiative, which calls for innovation in CDR pathways that will capture CO 2 from the atmosphere and permanently store it at meaningful scales for less than $100/net metric ton of CO 2 -equivalent.

US Steel and CarbonFree sign MoU to capture CO2 at Gary Works

Green Car Congress

CarbonFree’s patented SkyCycle technology captures carbon emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sources before they enter the atmosphere, converts the CO 2 into the specialty chemical precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), and produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a co-product. SkyCycle is CarbonFree’s second-generation technology.

Evonik and Siemens Energy commission pilot plant for conversion of CO2 to chemicals

Green Car Congress

This type of artificial photosynthesis can serve as an energy store and thus help to close the carbon cycle and reduce carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere. In the electrolyzers, carbon dioxide and water are converted into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ) with electricity in a first step.
