Specialists from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and Zhuhai Futian Energy Technology have developed a particular installation that will help reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
According to the authors of the work, the technology can selectively transport hydrocarbon fuels with added value and a sufficiently high energy density.
According to experts, the declared demonstration facility was completed in the Zouchen Industrial Park in 2020. In October 2021, it passed the 72-hour experiments provided by the China Federation of Petroleum and Chemical Industry. This provides an opportunity to open up a new path through which an already clean energy revolution will proceed.
According to preliminary data, the new unit can produce gasoline with a high octane rating of over 90, which is in line with China’s IV standard.
In this way, the technology consumed less energy, as it converted gas into fuel. As early as January, researchers at RMIT University of Australia reported that they had succeeded in creating a method for converting carbon dioxide CO2 into solid carbon.
The carbon capture technology will help achieve global carbon neutrality efforts. Other scientists say that it could also be a dangerous distraction that delays the shift away from fossil fuel consumption.
