An international research team has discovered a potentially clean,
low-cost way to convert carbon dioxide into methanol, a key ingredient
in the production of plastics, adhesives and solvents, and a promising
fuel for transportation.
Scientists from Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator
Laboratory and the Technical University of Denmark combined theory and
experimentation to identify a new nickel-gallium catalyst that converts
hydrogen and carbon dioxide into methanol with fewer side-products than
the conventional catalyst. The results are published in the March 2
online edition of the journal Nature Chemistry.
