    Recently, a team of scientists from the Gwangju Institute of
    Science and Technology (GIST) in South Korea, led by Professor
    Dr. Jaeyoung Lee, Dr. Minjun Choi, and Dr. Sooan Bae, introduced
    a significant breakthrough in this area.

    Their new approach to CO2-to-alcohol conversion sets a
    global performance record by combining exceptional efficiency
    with large-scale production capability. Published in Nature
    Catalysis, their research reveals an electrochemical technique
    that transforms CO2 into ‘allyl alcohol,’ a high-value
    compound with various industrial applications.

    . . .

    Good.

    Most tactics for dealing with CO2 involve just
    finding ways to throw it away - at considerable
    expense. However this new catalyst promises to
    turn it into useful industrial feedstock chems.
    That'd make CO2 capture largely self-supporting
    money-wise.

    So ... why didn't US biz or universities come up
    with this ? Too busy persecuting Jews or promoting
    incompetents maybe ?
