Every year, 3 billion tons of petroleum products are required to meet the world's energy needs;

In perspective of 2050 according to the European Union directive there must be a decarburization of light road transport.

For heavy transport, maritime and aviation, however, the only possibility is the transition to low carbon fuel.

The challenge is to replace 3 billion petroleum products with sustainable products, for now there is no source capable of ensuring this great transition.

For light transport and its decarburization by 2050, research has been achieved that with fuels with low or even zero carbon it is possible to have numerous changes, especially at an environmental level, for heavy transport, however, the change can take place through biofuels or Low Carbon Fuels.

DECARBONIZATION OF TRANSPORT

WHY ARE BIO FUELS CALLED THIS IF THEY ALSO PRODUCE CO2 FROM THEIR COMBUSTION?

Some might say just because less Co2 is emitted, but it's not just for this reason;

it is above all because their production comes from the photosynthesis of plants which transforms carbon dioxide and metabolic water in sunlight into glucose fundamental for plant life.

By burning bio fuels we will therefore release the seventy carbon dioxide produced for their production, in this way we will have the global content of Co2 in the atmosphere always the same.

With the help of a nano-structured catalyst using carbon dioxide dissolved in water it was transformed into ethanol with a yield of 63%.
The voltage to activate the reaction is required because water must be dissociated electrolytically to obtain hydrogen and oxygen from it; that is, the reagents that participate in the reaction with CO2.
