Carbon Sciences Developing Technology to Convert CO2 to Fuel

Posted on September 26, 2008

Carbon Sciences is developing a biocatalytic process to convert CO2 to low-carbon hydrocarbons. Click to enlarge.Carbon Sciences, Inc., the developer of a CO2-to-carbonate technology that converts the gas into precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) for use in the production of paper, pharmaceuticals and plastics, is developing a process to transform CO2 into low-carbon hydrocarbons (C1 to C3) for subsequent upgrading into higher-carbon fuels such as gasoline and jet fuel. Conventional processes for the conversion of CO2 to fuel include direct photolysis which uses light energy to break off the o...
