Abstract
A process for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and converting the CO2 into an alcohol fuel is disclosed herein. The process includes capturing CO2 emissions from an exhaust mechanism of a machine at a CO2 capture device. The process also includes converting the CO2 emissions into an alcohol fuel using an electrolyzer.
Claims24
A process for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from a CO2 emitting machine and converting the CO2 into an alcohol fuel, the process comprising:
- capturing CO2 emissions from an exhaust mechanism of the machine at a CO2 capture device on the machine;
- transferring the CO2 emissions to an electrolyzer;
- mixing the CO2 emissions with an electrolyte to create a CO2 aqueous mixture;
- transferring the CO2 aqueous mixture to an electrochemical cell;
- applying a voltage to the CO2 aqueous mixture within the electrochemical cell to generate an alcohol and byproducts;
- separating the alcohol and byproducts to separate the alcohol from the byproducts;
- and
- collecting the alcohol for use as a fuel for the machine.
