HTE working with Stanford on CO2 to CO

The high-throughput experimentation company HTE is working with Stanford University chemistry professor Matthew Kanan on catalysts that make carbon monoxide from carbon dioxide. Metal-free reverse water-gas shift catalysts were tested for 3 months in HTE’s high-throughput units to get results that would have taken many years to obtain in his own lab, Kanan says . The ultimate hope is to be able to make chemicals and fuels from CO 2 emissions and hydrogen. Kanan says the performance of the catalysts has been encouraging for future scale-up.
