Research Spotlight - Catalyzing a Lower-Carbon World
David S. A. Simakov, Duo Sun, & Faisal M. Khan
The more carbon dioxide (CO2) we pump into the atmosphere, the hotter the planet will get. That’s why researchers around the world are looking for ways to transform those emissions into useful resources. One promising approach is to convert them into methane fuel, using a hydrogenation process called the Sabatier reaction.
In theory, it’s simple: just add hydrogen gas to CO2 in the presence of a catalyst. However, there are technical challenges. Because the process generates a lot of heat,…
Research Spotlight - Modelling Greener Microgrids
Bharatkumar V. Solanki, Kankar Bhattacharya, & Claudio A. Cañizares
More than half of Canada’s 280 remote communities are cut off from centralized electricity grids, relying instead on high-polluting diesel generators. But as the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions grows, more and more of these isolated communities are searching for greener microgrid options that add renewable energy to the mix.
Waterloo engineering professors Kankar Bhattacharya and Claudio Cañizares are helping guide that search. Along with PhD student Bharatkumar Solanki, the WISE…
