Scientists at the University of Twente research institute MESA+ hold developed an electrode in the form of a hollow porous copper fibre which is able to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) extremely efficiently. In principle the invention enables a wide variety of industrial processes,for example in the steel industry, to be made more sustainable. The researchers hold applied for a patent on their invention, or their research results hold been published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
