    New technology uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into methane Japan's Showa Shell Oil Company has invented a new technology that can use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into methane
    and other resources
    at room temperature and pressure.
    For the first time, the company uses gas diffusion electrodes used in fuel cells and a newly developed catalyst to directly convert water and carbon dioxide into methane and ethylene
    using sunlight alone at ambient temperature and pressure.
    The company believes that this technology is an important advance
    in the field of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and new energy synthesis.

    Showa Shell plans to develop new technologies that efficiently use carbon dioxide to produce hydrocarbons and ethanol by 2030 to better reuse
    carbon dioxide.
