Renewable gas from carbon dioxide with the aid of solar power
Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, are trying to transform carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to sustain using power from sunlight. Current results have actually shown that it is possible to utilize their method to uniquely create methane, carbon monoxide gas or formic acid from carbon dioxide and water. The study has been released in ACS Nano.
