This Solar-Powered Reactor Sucks CO2 From the Air and Turns It Into Fuel
Researchers have created a solar-powered reactor that collects CO2 by night and turns it into a useful gas by day.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have built a solar-powered reactor that converts atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into a gas that could one day fuel vehicles, power off-the-grid dwellings, and even produce pharmaceutical products. The researchers claim that a solar reactor of this kind could even be used by individuals (as opposed to powering an entire neighborhood or town) to provide energy for remote locations. “Instead of continuing to dig up and burn fossil fuels to produce the products we have come to rely on, we can get all the CO2 we need directly from the air and reuse it,” said Erwin Reisner, a chemist at the University of Cambridge who led the study.
