Australian scientists have paved the way for carbon neutral fuel with the development of a new efficient catalyst that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air into synthetic natural gas in a «clean» process using solar energy.

The process allows small, synthetic molecules to exhibit the functional diversity of much larger enzymatic catalysts, and offers a promising new tool for synthesizing therapeutics based on natural products.

It has triggered a small revolution in the world of synthetic chemistry, which had always believed that there was a limit to the number of possible bonds to build new catalysts.
