Novel material holds promise for tech to convert CO2 into fuel
Raleigh NC (SPX) Mar 26, 2025 Researchers have developed a novel combination of materials that have organic and inorganic properties, with the goal of using them in technologies that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a liquid fuel. "Fundamentally, the goal of this project was to engineer a surface that would allow us to efficiently convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into methanol, which is a liquid fuel," says Gregory Parsons, corresponding author of a paper on the work and Celanese Acetate Professor of Chemical ... read more |

New process accelerates rock-based carbon capture at low cost
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 20, 2025 Stanford University chemists have developed a cost-effective method to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, addressing a key challenge in mitigating climate change. The innovative approach leverages heat to transform common minerals into highly reactive materials that naturally extract and store CO2. These materials can be produced using conventional kilns, similar to those used in cement manufacturing. "The Earth holds vast mineral reserves capable of capturing atmospheric ... read more
