Converting carbon dioxide and methane into liquid fuels and chemicals using single step processes such as catalysis has proven a significant challenge because they are both inert molecules. Typically, the conversion will require high temperature, energy intensive syngas production process and high pressure syngas processing for chemical synthesis.
The University of Liverpool scientists’ one-step room-temperature production of liquid fuels was achieved by using a unique atmospheric-pressure, non-thermal plasma reactor with a water electrode and a low energy input.
