Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most significant byproduct of fossil fuel usage and a major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. We hear about the dangerous levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere on major news broadcasts across the globe. Carbon Sciences is tackling this issue, developing a breakthrough technology to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the basic fuel building blocks required to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other fuels.
The key to Carbon Science’s CO2-to-Fuel approach lies in a proprietary multi-step biocatalytic process. The company’s approach is based on a low energy biocatalytic hydrolysis process where water molecules (H2O) are split into hydrogen atoms (H) and hydroxide ions (OH) using a biocatalyst. The hydrogen atoms (H) are immediately used in the production of hydrocarbons and the free electrons in OH are used to power the various biocatalytic processes. Instead of using expensive inorganic catalysts, such as zinc, gold or zeolite, with traditional high energy catalytic chemical processes, their process uses inexpensive, renewable biomolecules to catalyze certain chemical reactions required to transform CO2 into basic hydrocarbon building blocks.
Derek McLeish, CEO of Carbon Sciences stated, “Because many aspects of our technology are trade secrets, we are not free to discuss all the details. However, based on our research to date, we believe that we will be able to demonstrate our technology within the next several months with a prototype that can convert a stream of CO2 into an immediately flammable liquid fuel.”
We will be on the lookout for that prototype in the next months to come and update when new information becomes available.
