Sustainable aviation: Scientists invent new method to convert CO2 into jet fuel
Scientists from the University of Oxford have invented a new, inexpensive method to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into jet fuel. They invented a new iron-based catalyst that captures the gas and converts it into a jet fuel range of hydrocarbons. As this carbon dioxide is extracted from air, and re-emitted […]
