A new catalyst can make ethanol out of carbon dioxide

Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Northern Illinois University have helped discover a new electrocatalyst that can consistently convert carbon dioxide and water into ethanol. That means the carbon dioxide emitted from industrial processes—such as fossil fuel or alcohol fermentation plants—can be turned into a valuable commodity at reasonable cost.
