“Unprecedented Discovery” – New Low-Cost Catalyst Converts Carbon Dioxide to Valuable Chemicals
scitechdaily.com
A low-cost, tin-based catalyst can selectively convert carbon dioxide to three widely produced chemicals — ethanol, acetic acid, and formic acid. Lurking within the emissions from many industrial operations is an untapped resource — carbon dioxide (CO2). A contributor of greenhouse gas and global

I read up and down the article and couldn’t help but wonder if EUV tin droplets could somehow be captured and reduced to smaller sizes required by this new stolen process that China is claiming to have discovered. Somehow I thought maybe they are trying to relate the two technologies…oh no, we’re not developing EUV machines from stolen company secrets! We’re recycling CO2!

But I’m hoping to be wrong.

    Oh it’s from their independent labs that they got all the money… I mean research to pay, I mean learn about or discover the discoveries. I don’t think the DOE would be working to give China technology.

      hu ? (I am very sorry, I don’t get it, what is this “their independent labs” you mentioned ?)
