In this research project, the university of Alberta developed a fuel cell that can combine natural gas, CO2 and air to produce carbon monoxide (CO), water and electricity. Where traditional conversion methods consume energy, this reaction creates it. It also creates water and CO, an important and profitable commercial chemical.
