Hub engineers convert waste CO2 into useful industrial products - with a cheap and abundant catalyst

Dr Rahman Daiyan and Dr Emma Lovell have developed a new process with a cheap and abundant zinc oxide catalyst that can transform waste carbon dioxide to syngas - a building block for creating diesel, methanol, alcohol or plastics, all high demand feed-stock for industry.

This research is just one of the projects within the Hub's Power-to-gas theme lead by Professor Rose Amal, Find out more about this inspiring research in the UNSW Newsroom article " Engineers find neat way to turn waste carbon dioxide into useful material" or read the Abstract for their paper in Advanced Energy Materials.
