CO2 into CO using renewable electricity - Harvard

Objective/theme

Researchers developed an improved system to use renewable electricity to reduce carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide (CO) — a key commodity used in a number of industrial processes.

Process & benefits

The most promising idea may be to connect these devices with coal-fired power plants or other industry that produces a lot of CO2,

The new system is cheaper and relies on high concentrations of CO2 gas and water vapor to operate more efficiently.
