Brookhaven National Laboratory and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill researchers have identified renewable organic hydrides that can efficiently convert carbon monoxide (CO) to methanol (CH3OH). These reagents could be part of a cascade strategy for converting atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into easily transportable/storable liquid fuel.
