Waseda, Eneos Develop Catalyst for Recycling CO2 to CO

摘要

A joint research group consisting of members from Waseda University and Eneos Corp. (TYO:5001) has developed a technology for recycling CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO) at approximately 500 degrees Celsius. Utilizing a reverse-shift reaction with copper indium oxide (Cu-In2O3) as a catalyst, the process here produces the impressive reaction speed of 10 millimoles per hour for each gram of material, despite a relatively low reaction temperature. This enables CO2 to be recycled while using less energy.
