Funded Activity Summary

Gas diffusion electrodes for conversion of carbon dioxide into fuels. This project aims to address the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the limited nature of fossil fuel reserves, by accelerating the development of technologies capable of producing liquid fuels from atmospheric carbon dioxide. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of advanced materials for renewable energy applications. It will use an innovative experimental material optimisation approach, coupled to mathematical modelling techniques. Expected outcomes include an enhanced capacity to develop electrochemical devices that transform carbon dioxide into liquid alcohol fuels, which could reduce the carbon footprint of transport activities without the need for further extensive infrastructure. Technologies to convert carbon dioxide into a valuable product will provide an economic incentive to reduce emissions, and will increase the commercial value of carbon capture systems currently under development in Australia.
