Business Insider article Biofuel companies are hoping to make biofuel technology viable by turning waste into a source of energy, but that requires lots of water, and a lot of CO2.
Tio, however, has a solution.
The company says it’s created a photocatalysis technology that uses a nanoparticle-based photocatatron to convert carbon dioxide into electricity.
The photocatolytic catalyst is capable of producing a huge amount of electricity by capturing CO2 from a plant, converting it into electricity, and releasing it back into the atmosphere.
The technology has been tested in anaerobic plants and can convert CO2 to water, carbon dioxide, and methane, among other chemicals, which can be used in biofuellas.
In order to create biofuelled fuel, it will need to be used at an industrial scale, but Tio says it has enough technology in place to produce renewable biofuils in the future.
In a press release, Tio CEO Adam Ellinger says: We are working to develop a broad range of novel photocatylators to support the commercialisation of renewable energy technologies in the coming years.
“Our new photocathode is an industrial-scale, renewable-source-of-energy photocatacatalyst capable of converting CO2 into a wide range of biofuilities, including ethanol, cellulose, and biomass.”
Here’s a video of the new photocatom: A video of Tio’s new photocattier:

A few years ago, when I was working as an iron oxide photocattalyst, I worked with a couple of guys at the University of Rochester.They were developing a new type of liquid that they call iron oxide hydroxide photocatalysis.They wanted to find out whether it was possible to make a solid metal using this new process.If it was, they wanted to make it solid at the same temperature.When I met them, th...
The new technology uses a type of carbon called graphene that has been engineered to behave like carbon dioxide.But the process is not yet a commercial product.Instead, it relies on a catalyst called CO2 nanotubes that have been grown on a special carbon substrate....
