Researchers have developed a chemical system they say efficiently carries out the first step in creating syngas, or synthesis gas.
A mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, syngas can be burnt and used as a fuel source. According to Biofuel.co.uk, syngas has 50 percent the energy density of natural gas.
For decades, researchers have tried to develop an efficient and scalable method to lower the oxidation state of carbon dioxide.
The new co-catalyst system uses inexpensive carbon-based nanofiber materials to convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide -- a starting material used to synthesize fuels.
