CeNT’s research on solar energy and carbon dioxide
02-01-2023…ification is rarely an option. “For instance hydrogen, carbon-based chemicals and ammonia can be derived from biomass conversion. However, the efficiency of this process is very limited and insufficient to meet global energy needs,” the researcher explains. “Biofuels gained through biomass conversion can be complemented with renewable fuels or substances derived directly from carbon dioxide.

Using the theoretical tools of microscale fluid dynamics, we are able to understand why these tails form, explain their shapes, and quantify the resulting motion of the droplets – explains Dr. Lisicki. The work results from a long-standing internationa…
