"The setup is a CO 2/water electrolyzer," UCI physicist Huolin Xin, who is leading the research, told SYFY WIRE. "In a water electrolyzer, you have H 2 produced in the cathode and O 2 produced in the anode. In a CO 2/water electrolyzer, in the anode, O 2 is produced by oxidizing water. In the cathode, CO 2 is reduced into methane." Xin has developed the Organic Combustion Method, which is similar to the Sabatier process used to extract breathable oxygen from water on the ISS. The Sabatier process takes advantage of solar power to generate electricity that hits H2O molecules and triggers elec...

Last Updated: January 3, 2021 6:28 pm While there have been many new inventions in today’s world, there is no way that can help us reduce the rate of global warming. So, in order to reduce the global carbon footprint, the Aviation industry has been working to commercialize electric planes in the coming years. However, researchers have now found an ingenious way to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. Researchers at Oxford University have found a way to essentially liquefy carbon dioxide, which is greenhouse gas emitted, to power airplanes. They used, what they are calling, Organic Combust...

Scientists Just Created a Catalyst That Turns CO2 Into Jet Fuel 100,233 Air travel is one of the worst contributors to global warming, burping out nearly a billion tons of CO2 a year. But what if we could close that circle by converting those greenhouse gases back into jet fuel? In the face of phenomena like climate change, plastic pollution, deforestation, and land degradation people are increasingly questioning the short-term thinking that underpins our societies. Some have dubbed our current approach a “linear economy” where we extract raw materials, process them into products, and the...

Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. The catalyst shows a carbon dioxide conversion through hydrogenation to hydrocarbons in the aviation jet fuel range of 38.2%, with a yield of 17.2%, and a selectivity of 47.8%, and with an attendant low carbon monoxide (5.6%) and methane selectivity (10.4%). The conversion reaction also produces light olefins—ethylene, propylene, and butenes—totalling a yield of ...
