Title
Optimization of a Modified TiO2 Photocatalyst to Improve Converstion of CO2 into Methane with a Short Essay on the Economic and Environmental Impact of NextPotential's X-Doped Photocatalyst
Description
The financial feasibility of NextPotential's X-doped photocatalyst is uncertain, the outcome depends on how much the material cost becomes reduced due to mass production techniques. If carbon taxes continue on the current trend the photocatalyst is highly likely to become financially feasible. Without carbon taxes, it is still likely the photocatalyst will achieve economical feasibility. The land area required by the photocatalyst is a feasible size. The minimal environmental downsides are that more land will be used and water will be used, but both of these are minimal compared to the benefit of eliminating carbon emissions.
