About 87% energy effective CO2 reduction to CO via formic acid. Author: David Judbarovski. systems engineering, principle inventor, retired; linkedin.com . judbsrovski.blogspot.com. Abstract. (a) H2O = H2 + 0.5 O2 - 286 kJ / 0.90= 320 kJ; (b) CO2 + H2 = CO2H2 + 32 kJ; (c) CO2H2 = CO + H2O - 29 kJ; and totally 320 + 32 -29 = 324 kJ vs.- 283 kJ if CO2 = CO + 0.5 O2. So my technology is 283 / 324 = 87 % energy effective.
