Abstract
USC researchers have developed a novel process for converting CO2 into MeOH. The low-cost method sequesters carbon in the convenient form of liquid MeOH, which can also be sold as fuel, creating an opportunity to offset carbon capture costs. The invention solves past problems around thermodynamic limitations inherent in past technologies....
