Sentences with phrase «into liquid hydrocarbon»

In short, carbon recycling takes carbon dioxide emissions and transforms them into a liquid hydrocarbon fuel source.

Their findings, described in a paper published in the journal Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, showed that changing the currently existing catalysts used in the conversion could turn carbon dioxide into liquid hydrocarbon - based fuel in one single step.

The team at Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) has created a system for using renewable energy to power the capture of CO2 and water, which is then transformed into liquid hydrocarbon fuels that can be used directly in gasoline engines.

A catalyst would then convert the mixture into a liquid hydrocarbon, which could be readily transported by ship.

«Proven one - step process to convert CO2 and water directly into liquid hydrocarbon fuel.»

Heat and catalysts converted methane into syngas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) which were then transformed into liquid hydrocarbons (otherwise known as oil and its derivatives): petroleum, gasoline and, in the case of aviation, kerosene.

In an article published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences titled «Solar photothermochemical alkane reverse combustion,» the researchers demonstrate that the one - step conversion of carbon dioxide and water into liquid hydrocarbons and oxygen can be achieved in a photothermochemical flow reactor operating at 180 to 200 C and pressures up to 6 atmospheres.
