Building a circular chemical economy

(University of Pittsburgh) Carbon dioxide is essential to plant and animal life, but in excess it negatively impacts the environment by absorbing and radiating heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.But what if we could recycle carbon dioxide by converting it into useful fuels and chemicals? The University of Pittsburgh's James McKone is tackling this idea and was selected as a Beckman Young Investigator (BYI) by the Arnold& Mabel Beckman Foundation for this work.
