In Missouri, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Missouri, and their collaborators at Texas A&M University have used electrocatalysis of carbon dioxide to create an electro-biodiesel that is 45 times more efficient and uses 45 times less land than soybean-based biodiesel production. Results of their work are published online in Joule […]
