Hydrocarbon fuel from the air

in #technology7 years ago

Hello Dear Friends,

These weeks, two big scientific discoveries have attracted me, who would like to share here with the readers of science:

First news from Switzerland:

Here the scientists made their own kind of first machine which could pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. The first commercial plant of this type of machine recently started near Zurich in Germany. This machine will capture approximately 900 tons in a year - CO2 directly from the environment, which is equivalent to the carbon dioxide emanating from two hundred cars in a year. (1)

This machine is installed by The Climeworks AG Salt German Company. Technicians believe that such a 250,000 machines will be able to pull carbon dioxide from one percent of the world.

While there is a lot of enthusiasm on this machine, some technicians believe that this type of machine can not be an option to reduce CO2 emissions, because it is not a natural method.

The cost is too much. A tonne of CO2 will cost about $ 1000, which is not exactly reasonable.

By the way, this machine has been power-ups from the heat (heat) emitted by the waste heat recovery facility, and the machine is running from the heat generated from the waste heat plant.

Co2 captured from the environment is sent through underground pipes to a greenhouse - where it is being used to grow vegetables such as tomatoes etc.

Whatever it is, it's a start-up - its loss advantages will be known only over time.

And the second news is from Switzerland:

Meanwhile, another news from the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, where a graduate student accidentally made a test - in which he directly broke CO2 into CO carbon monoxide and oxygen (O2) gas. This CO gas is now underway to make Hydrocarbon fuel in hydrogen. One can be a great discovery in the direction of Energy's Alternative Sources. (2)

This student was actually studying the mutant properties of copper oxide. Then he accidentally used the electrode of tin oxide with copper oxide. And as soon as he did this, the water formed in CO2 - carbon monoxide started to emerge from the water, and seeing the water turned 90% CO2 CO.

The scientists have been trying to make CO2 CO 2 for the last 20 years, but so far no one was able to get a mutant that could break CO2 in such a large amount and convert it to CO.

In addition to this finding, the future of plant synthesis, which can be done naturally by tree plants in the artificial way, can succeed in the machine - it is worth mentioning that tree plantation is also the process of photosynthesis from CO2 and sunlight By producing energy for themselves.

If the above two discoveries are to be seen together - it seems that converting harmful carbon dioxide present in the environment in the future will be a reality by converting it into artificial photo synthesis directly into the petrol, etc.

If that happens then countries such as India are going to be very benefitted because our air is filled with carbon dioxide. I wish that both of these techniques be free from patents, so that they can be used filling it properly! That's impossible!

Yes, it is possible that countries such as India expect their scientists to develop similar technologies in the coming days.
