Scientists at Singapore’s Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology announced that they have developed a process to convert carbon dioxide into biofuel.

The process also used hydrosilane, a combination of silica and hydrogen.

“Hydrosilane provides hydrogen, which bonds with carbon dioxide in a reduction reaction. This carbon dioxide reduction is efficiently catalyzed by NHCs even at room temperature,” Zhang said in the statement.

“Methanol can be easily obtained from the product of the carbon dioxide reaction,” Zhang added.
