Zeolite catalysts convert carbon dioxide to fuel
Two research groups have independently developed catalysts that turn CO2 and hydrogen into gasoline
The conversion of carbon dioxide to long-chain hydrocarbons is potentially crucial to the production of renewable fuels. Now, two separate research groups in China have developed multifunctional catalysts that can convert CO2 and hydrogen to gasoline, which comprises hydrocarbons with chain lengths between five and 11 carbon atoms.
