"With every pulse, it breaks down CO 2. The first one breaks down CO 2 into CO, the second one breaks down H 2O into H and OH, and the third one is to join them into methanol," said Bukhari, explaining the cascading effects of the microwaves on the plasma and how they facilitate chemical reactions that enable the conversion of carbon into usable energy forms.
"Methanol is a simple hydrocarbon consisting of just a handful of atoms, but that simplicity offers flexibility. It can be burned directly in internal combustion engines, as some race cars do today, or it can be refined into more complex hydrocarbons like jet fuel," Bukhari elaborated on the versatility of methanol, highlighting its importance for various applications in energy and industrial processes.
