CO2, the final frontier. We have, famously, too much of it, and can do too little with us for too high a cost. Yet, researchers are teasing out exciting new applications, such as a pathway to liquid fuels, using CO2 and *usually) water as feedstock for eFuels. Axens’ Mukund Yallambalse presented these slides at ABLC […]
