the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology engineers at Chemical in Korea have developed a one-step process to turn CO2 directly into diesel, which usually takes at least two steps. The process uses a catalyst made from a mineral called delafossite (CuFeO2), which is low-cost and abundant. The engineers believe that the new catalyst could open an avenue for recycling waste CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals.
