I suppose I consider myself to be multi-talented. This will be my fourth year as a CWSF finalist; I have won the Best in Fair award from the North Western Ontario Regional Science Fair for four years in a row. I'm working on my grade 9 piano, and recently won the Silver Tray for senior piano at my local festival. I'm a member of Hammarskjold's cross-country running and badminton teams, and enjoy soccer, skiing, and cycling. For the past few years, I have been an active participant in my community, and a member of Youth Advisory Council, Citizens Concerned About Pesticides, Natural Helpers, Kids Help Phone, and Youth With an Open Mind. |
| Tim Rappon Kick the Carbon Crave: Convert CO2 to Fuels
Division: | Internationale / Innovation environnementale | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | Région: | Northwestern Ontario | Ville: | Thunder Bay, ON | École: | Hammarskjold High School | Sommaire: | Carbon dioxide is converted to methane, methanol and ethanol under photocatalytic conditions in the presence of selected additives. Analysis of the products was done using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. This technology would enable a carbon neutral economy and solve energy shortages by recycling the carbon dioxide generated from the burning of fuels. |
