Demonstration of CO2 Conversion to Synthetic Transport Fuel at Flue Gas Concentrations

A mixture of 1- and 2-butanol was produced using a stepwise synthesis starting with a methyl halide. The process included a carbon dioxide utilization step to produce an acetate salt which was then converted to the butanol isomers by Claisen condensation of the esterified acetate followed by hydroge...
