Abstract
A process for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and converting the CO2 into other products is disclosed herein. The process includes capturing CO2 emissions from an exhaust mechanism at a CO2 capture device. The process also includes converting the CO2 emissions into a carbon-based product using catalysis, such as an electrochemical process or a photocatalytic process.
Claims5
A process for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from a truck and converting the CO2 into other carbon based products, the process comprising:
- capturing CO2 emissions from an exhaust mechanism of a truck at a CO2 capture device;
- transferring the CO2 emissions to a CO2 to ethanol catalyst component of a CO2 conversion device;
- transferring water from a water tank of the CO2 conversion device to the CO2 to ethanol catalyst component to mix with the CO2 emissions;
- generating a voltage at the CO2 to ethanol catalyst component to react the water with the CO2 emissions;
- converting the CO2 emissions and water to ethanol, methanol and hydrogen;
- filtering the ethanol, methanol, hydrogen and water through a membrane or other chemical separation device;
- and
- transferring the ethanol to an ethanol tank and the water to the water tank.
