Converting CO2 using microwaves!

Trapping carbon dioxide and then converting it to methane enables reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and recycle CO₂ into a sustainable fuel, provided renewable H₂ is employed. Microwave-based reactors provide an efficient means to use electrical energy for upgrading chemicals, since those can selectively heat up the load placed in a reactor and not the reactor itself. A team from IRCELYON published the first paper showing the potential of using inexpensive microwave technology to readily convert trapped CO₂ into valuable products.
