Use this starter slide to begin your lessons on catalysts or ways of reducing global warming

An inexpensive and efficient new catalyst for turning carbon dioxide into jet fuel has been developed by a team led by University of Oxford chemists that can produce long-chain hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide in a single step. Find out more and download a starter slide to use with your students to give them a new context for their study of catalysts or ways of reducing global warming.
