Bengaluru scientists have devised a toxic-free method that converts the most common greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) to methane (CH4) \u2013 known to be the cleanest fossil fuel \u2013 a process that can effectively help in reducing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels which is a major climate change concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru, achieved this using non-metal catalysts, unlike procedures that are in use, which are found to release toxic gases in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In doing so, the scientists, led by Professor Tapas Kumar Maji from the Chemistry and Physics of Materials Unit of JNCASR, have designed a cost-effective metal-free catalyst to achieve the conversion by absorption of visible light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
