Combating carbon footprint: novel reactor system converts carbon dioxide into usable fuel - EurekAlert


Boilers are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. In a recent study, researchers from Japan and Poland developed a method to convert CO2 emissions from small boilers into methane, which makes use of an optimized reactor design that evenly distributes the CO2 feed. This, in turn, results in significantly lower temperature increments and a boost in methane production. This innovative technique could pave the way for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
