Turning CO2 into Methanol: Breakthrough Catalyst

Turning CO2 into Methanol: Breakthrough Catalyst

New catalyst turns CO2 into methanol, powered by sunlight. A leap towards green fuel by an international research team.

Combining copper with carbon nitride, researchers boost photocatalysis efficiency. Greenhouse gas to green fuel transformation."

Adding just 1mg of copper increases efficiency 4x. Methane selectivity shifts to methanol, reducing CO2 emissions.

Renewable methanol could cut CO2 emissions by 95% compared to conventional fuels. A step closer to decarbonization.

Future goals: Enhance quantum efficiency and scale the process. The team eyes pilot plant scale and beyond.
