Breakthrough Catalyst Turns CO2 Into Fuel With Incredible Efficiency

A redesigned catalyst appears to sidestep a major bottleneck in CO2-to-methanol conversion by separating where key reaction steps occur. Efficient methanol production could play an important role in carbon recycling, turning captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into a useful chemical feedstock and fuel ingredient. In principle, the chemistry works best at low temperatures, where converting CO2 [...]
