Solar-powered electrochemical cell used to produce formic acid from CO2

[Centrics]

Rising atmospheric CO₂ levels can generally be tackled in three ways: developing alternative energy sources with lower emissions; carbon capture and storage (CCS); and capturing carbon and repurposing it. Researchers at Princeton University are claiming to have developed a technique that ticks two of these three boxes by using solar power to convert CO₂ into formic acid...
