Study Converts Carbon Dioxide Into Long-Chain Chemicals for Jet Fuel
Researchers published a study in ACS Catalysis on April 15 detailing a process to convert carbon dioxide directly into long-chain chemicals suitable for jet fuel. The method essentially runs combustion in reverse, recombining waste gas with water to create energy-dense liquid fuel. The breakthrough addresses two major obstacles that have historically hindered this chemical process: carbon chain growth difficulties and low yields of valuable long-chain products.
