YCNCC Faculty Affiliate Hailiang Wang Is Transforming Industrial Carbon Dioxide into Renewable Fuel

Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC) Faculty Affiliate and Yale Professor of Chemistry Dr. Hailiang Wang has made a significant breakthrough in developing a scalable process to convert carbon dioxide into renewable fuel. This innovative approach could play a crucial role in reducing carbon footprints and accelerating the transition to cleaner energy.

The research, partially funded by the YCNCC, focuses on a two-step catalytic process that efficiently transforms captured CO₂ into a usable energy source. This advancement represents a critical step toward developing practical and efficient methods for carbon recycling, bringing the vision of a circular carbon economy closer to reality.
