Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate, a material that can be used to power a fuel cell and generate electricity
The approach directly converts the greenhouse gas into formate, a solid fuel that can be stored indefinitely and could be used to heat homes or power industries. The search is on worldwide to find ways to extract carbon dioxide from the air or from power plant exhaust and then make it into someth
Synopsis: Researchers from MIT and Harvard have pioneered an innovative process to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into formate, a versatile fuel substitute.
Researchers have developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate, a material that can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity.
The search is on worldwide to find ways to extract carbon dioxide from the air or from power plant exhaust and then make it into something useful. One of the more promising ideas is to make it into a stable fuel that can replace fossil fuels.
