In Missouri, Washington University in St. Louis reported that researchers in the labs of Joshua Yuan, at the McKelvey School of Engineering, and Susie Dai, at the University of Missouri, used electrocatalysis of carbon dioxide to turn carbon dioxide into intermediates that are then converted by microbes into lipids, or fatty acids, and ultimately became […]
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 […]
