What this project investigates: A catalytic reaction that turns carbon dioxide into methanol, which has the potential to outperform or complement natural processes that remove carbon from the air and transform it into methanol.
How this will be addressed: By building on existing research and performing lab experiments to identify limiting factors and improve process design and equipment engineering.
Why it matters: The results of this project will move scientists one critical step closer to developing the technology for producing methanol from carbon dioxide.
Focus Area:
Industrial Carbon Utilization
