The Globe Digest #42: MIT engineers make converting CO2 into useful products more practical

A new electrode design boosts the efficiency of electrochemical reactions that turn carbon dioxide into ethylene and other products.

As the world struggles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers are seeking practical, economical ways to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into useful products, such as transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, or even building materials. But so far, such attempts have struggled to reach economic viability.
