Scientists have developed a sunlight-powered reactor that directly captures CO₂ from the air and transforms it into sustainable fuel.

Unlike traditional carbon capture methods, this device requires no fossil-fuel energy, making it a game-changer for the climate crisis. By mimicking photosynthesis, it produces syngas, a crucial ingredient in fuel and pharmaceuticals, with plans to scale up for liquid fuel production.

Harnessing Sunlight for Sustainable Fuel

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered reactor that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel using sunlight.

This innovative reactor has the potential to produce fuel for cars and planes, as well as essential chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It could also provide a reliable energy source in remote or off-grid locations.

Unlike traditional carbon capture technologies, which require fossil fuel energy and involve transporting and storing CO₂, this reactor eliminates those steps. Instead, it directly converts atmospheric CO₂ into useful products using only sunlight. The research findings were published today (February 13) in Nature Energy.

The Limitations of Conventional Carbon Storage

While Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been promoted as a solution to the climate crisis—receiving £22 billion (~$27 billion) in UK government funding—it remains highly energy-intensive. Additionally, concerns persist over the long-term safety of storing pressurized CO₂ deep underground, though ongoing studies are assessing these risks.

“Aside from the expense and the energy intensity, CCS provides an excuse to carry on burning fossil fuels, which is what caused the climate crisis in the first place,” said Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the research. “CCS is also a non-circular process, since the pressurized CO₂ is, at best, stored underground indefinitely, where it’s of no use to anyone.”

Turning a Harmful Gas into Useful Chemicals

“What if instead of pumping the carbon dioxide underground, we made something useful from it?” said first author Dr Sayan Kar from Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. “CO₂ is a harmful greenhouse gas, but it can also be turned into useful chemicals without contributing to global warming.”

The focus of Reisner’s research group is the development of devices that convert waste, water, and air into practical fuels and chemicals. These devices take their inspiration from photosynthesis: the process by which plants convert sunlight into food. The devices don’t use any outside power: no cables, no batteries – all they need is the power of the sun.

From Air to Syngas: The Key Breakthrough

The team’s newest system takes CO₂ directly from the air and converts it into syngas: a key intermediate in the production of many chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The researchers say their approach, which does not require any transportation or storage, is much easier to scale up than earlier solar-powered devices.

The device, a solar-powered flow reactor, uses specialized filters to grab CO₂ from the air at night, like how a sponge soaks up water. When the sun comes out, the sunlight heats up the captured CO₂, absorbing infrared radiation and a semiconductor powder absorbs the ultraviolet radiation to start a chemical reaction that converts the captured CO₂ into solar syngas. A mirror on the reactor concentrates the sunlight, making the process more efficient.

Towards Liquid Fuels and Scaled-Up Solutions

The researchers are currently working on converting solar syngas into liquid fuels, which could be used to power cars, planes, and more – without adding more CO₂ to the atmosphere.

“If we made these devices at scale, they could solve two problems at once: removing CO₂ from the atmosphere and creating a clean alternative to fossil fuels,” said Kar. “CO₂ is seen as a harmful waste product, but it is also an opportunity.”

A Future Without Fossil Fuels?

The researchers say that a particularly promising opportunity is in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector, where syngas can be converted into many of the products we rely on every day, without contributing to climate change. They are building a larger scale version of the reactor and hope to begin tests in the spring.

If scaled up, the researchers say their reactor could be used in a decentralized way, so that individuals could theoretically generate their own fuel, which would be useful in remote or off-grid locations.

“Instead of continuing to dig up and burn fossil fuels to produce the products we have come to rely on, we can get all the CO₂ we need directly from the air and reuse it,” said Reisner. “We can build a circular, sustainable economy – if we have the political will to do it.”

The technology is being commercialized with the support of Cambridge Enterprise, the University’s commercialization arm. The research was supported in part by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the European Research Council, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Cambridge Trust.

ISRAELI HOSPITALS DESTROY TUMORS WITH LIQUID NITROGEN

admin — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 14:55:58 +0000

IceCure Medical, an Israeli company developing a minimally invasive medical device for treating tumors, recently announced that it will start offering its technology, called cryoablation, in Israel in upcoming weeks.

The company’s device is an ultrasound imaging-guided probe that injects liquid nitrogen into a tumor and does not require hospitalization, leaves minimal to no scarring, and has a short recovery time. Destroyed tumor cells are then reabsorbed in the body over time.

The treatment, which is approved in the US and the European Union, will be available in Israel to women suffering from fibroadenomas, benign breast tumors usually found in women under 30, and for patients with malignant kidney tumors. Article excerpts from calcalisttech.com.

One in forty Ashkenazi Jews carry a BRCA genetic mutation, and carriers face an eighty percent chance of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Breast and ovarian cancers are the most common cancers afflicting women in the United States and Israel. Created to serve this population, Israel’s Rabin Medical Center is home to the BRCA Multidisciplinary Clinic at the Davidoff Cancer Center – a world class facility whose sole focus is on the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Serving patients from all over Israel, the Breast Cancer Unit at the Davidoff Center provides comprehensive care from the diagnostic stage through systemic treatment and radiation therapy. Over the past year, the Unit had 10,000 visits and 500 new patients.

New Lab Tests Prove Green Tea Liquid is the Most Potent Extract Available!

Ultimate Green Tea Liquid features the super antioxidant that can help baby boomers find the key to extending their healthy years. Newly completed lab tests establish that Ultimate Green Tea Liquid available from Viva Herbals is unsurpassed by any other product on the market. Dr. Shoshana Margolin, the New York based author of Quantum Therapy: Anything Less is a Compromise says:

“This organic green tea extract is a potent immune enhancer and energy fortifier. I would not want to be a day without it!”

Extensive media coverage indicates that interest in the benefits of Green Tea has skyrocketed since scientific studies conducted in the nineties found evidence of extraordinary anti-aging and anti carcinogenic properties. The National Cancer Research Institute in Tokyo recently issued this succinct summation of its studies, “We suggest that drinking green tea may be one of the most practical methods of cancer prevention available at the present time.” As long ago as 1992, the Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology stated (Vol. 23), “Green tea has been shown to enhance the liver’s ability to detoxify carcinogens and thus act as a cancer preventative.”

Green Tea is also great for weight loss. According to Wikipedia: Japanese researchers claim drinking five cups of green tea a day can burn 70 to 80 extra calories. And Dr. Nicholas Perricone told Oprah Winfrey’s viewers they can lose 10 lbs (4.5 kg) in 6 weeks by simply drinking green tea instead of coffee!

Studies in Asia have shown that in order to get the full benefits from the health sustaining polyphenols in Green Tea you need to drink more than 15 cups a day. One cup of Ultimate Green Tea Liquid (30 drops in hot or cold water) is equivalent to 15 cups of loose green tea. Polyphenols are a nutritional plant based type off antioxidant. Ultimate Green Tea is laboratory certified to be free of all herbicides, pesticides and fluoride and contains more than 95% Polyphenols and 62% EGCG. A check of labels of other green liquid concentrates in the stores reveals that they are either not organic or not caffeine-free and the best of them claim polyphenol levels of only 60 to 80 percent.

Epidemiological observations have shown that people in green-tea consuming countries-mainly Japan and China-have very low rates of cancer. The healthiest and longest-lived occupation in Japan is that of the women who teach or practice the ancient ritual known as “CHANOYU” and drink large quantities of green tea. Studies found that these women have the lowest mortality rate and greatest longevity. Deaths from cancer are especially rare in this group. Dr. Earl Mindall in his Super Antioxidant Miracle book describes ways in which green tea could help you. These benefits include protective safeguards against possible breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

Ultimate Green Tea Liquid has been proven to be the purest concentrate you can buy. The U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that imported green tea leaves be sprayed with pesticides before entering this country. Ultimate Green Tea concentrate is made from organic green tea leaves in Asia. The pure polyphenol-rich liquid is shipped to the United States in sealed vats and is untouched by herbicides, pesticides or insecticides.

Ultimate Green Tea is additionally fortified with concentrated extracts of Goji Berry, Astragalus and Lohan Kuo. Which all work together synergistically to make Ultimate Green Tea the most potent natural Elixir available today.

Manhattan Clinical Nutritionist Dr. M. Triana commented,

“I recommend Chi Tea therapeutically for many of my clients. I have seen remarkable improvements in many cases with problems such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart conditions, high blood pressure and conditions of the prostrate.”

Dr. Mark Ukra, popularly known as “Dr. Tea,” author of the Ultimate Tea Diet has been on shows such as The View, Good Morning America and Oprah and has endorsed Green Tea Liquid. Dr Ukra uses the product daily and it is on the menu at his famous Teagarden Tea house in Beverly Hills.

Ultimate Green Tea was created by visionary entrepreneur Tony Irancani who is an authority on Tea and its anti-virus, anti-cancer, super antioxidant properties. Mr Iracani is regularly requested to speak at health expos and symposiums throughout the USA and Canada. He has owned numerous vegetarian restaurants in New York including Café Viva in Manhattans upper west side.

“I have spent over 30 years studying all kinds of health and Chinese medicines and found Green Tea to unquestionably be the most effective preventative elixir that was accessible to the West ”

– Tony Iracani, the creator of Ultimate Green Tea Liquid

“I became distressed when the West was not experiencing true healing benefits and not getting the anti carcinogenic properties of green tea. When the tea being imported was not the quality and would need to be consumed in large quantities for any of the incredible effects to take place. The Ultimate Green tea liquid finally makes this elixir that the Chinese have been using for thousands of years accessible to the west.”
