Turning Stone into Gold: NYCU Launches Carbon Reduction Revolution by Converting Carbon Dioxide into Fuel
According to a study report by the United Nations, global greenhouse gas emissions reached 57.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2023. This marked a 1.3% increase compared to 2022, reaching an all-time high. According to the Global Carbon Project, only the global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels grew by 0.8% in 2024 compared to 2023 to reach 37.4 billion tons, and the annual carbon emissions were also not promising. These figures have been a wake-up call for the global climate crisis and prompted scientists to look for breakthrough solutions to reduce carbon emissions. Sung-Fu Hung, the Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Chemistry of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, has collaborated with Ying Wang, the Assistant Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Ziyun Wang, the Senior Lecturer at the University of Auckland, to comprise an international research team. In the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, the innovative use of …
