Rice University researchers have developed copper-based catalysts that efficiently convert carbon dioxide into methane, presenting a promising solution for carbon management.
Rice University materials scientists developed copper-based catalysts to help speed up the rate of carbon dioxide-to-methane conversion. Technologies for removing carbon from the atmosphere keep improving, but solutions for what to do with the carbon once it’s captured are harder to come by.
Roy noted, “We found that modulating the distances between the copper atoms lowered the energy needed for key reaction steps, thereby speeding up the chemical conversion. This cooperative action of nearby copper atoms helped produce methane at a very high rate of selectivity and efficiency.

Developers Submit Planning Application to Convert Remote Pub into a HouseDevelopers have submitted a planning application to convert The Old Fox pub near Garston into a house, just months after their previous effort was blocked by the council. The pub has been closed since 2017 and the council's decision in May stated that the plan goes against the policy of protecting public houses. The owners must test whether the pub is commercially unviable by putting it on the market for a minimum of 12 months.
