CO2 turned into fuel: Japan’s scientists convert captured carbon into green fuel | The new electrochemical cell converts bicarbonate (from captured carbon) into formate, a potent green fuel.
Researchers develop a new electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide into formate, a clean fuel source.
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new type of electrochemical cell that can effectively convert a bicarbonate solution—a product derived from captured carbon—into a formate solution, which is a potent source of green fuel. This innovation overcomes significant challenges in reactive carbon capture (RCC) and demonstrates performance levels similar to those of traditional gas-fed methods, which are usually more energy-intensive. “Carbon capture and utilization to convert atmospheric CO2 into useful chemicals and fuels is essential for achieving a carbon-neutral or negative emission future,” said the researchers in the study.
