A new kind of methane reactor is promising something that has long sounded too good to be true: turning fossil gas into clean hydrogen while locking the carbon away in valuable nanotubes instead of ...

Oil fields often contain a lot of natural gas, but it can be uneconomical to transport this gas from remote production sites to where it can be used. Instead, the gas is simply vented or flared, which ...

Generating energy from natural gas without climate-damaging CO 2 emissions - that's the promise of a new technology developed in a joint research project by scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of ...

Turning methane into ethylene with sunlight sounds like alchemy, but it is rapidly moving into the realm of practical chemistry. A new generation of solar-driven catalysts promises to convert a potent ...

Methane, the main constituent of natural gas and biogas, is deemed to be an alternative source to replace crude oil to produce chemicals and fuels. Direct non-oxidative methane conversion (NMC) has ...

Boilers are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. In a recent study, researchers developed a method to convert CO2 emissions from small boilers into methane, which makes use of an optimized ...

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system, ...

An overview of the researchers’ continuous-flow reactor, which uses a technique known as floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (FCCVD) to enable the continuous mass production of carbon ...

Reverse flow reactors have emerged as a transformative technology in process engineering, combining periodic flow inversion with regenerative heat exchange to enhance the efficiency of both exothermic ...

Water denitrification by a coimmobilized mixed culture of denitrifiers and methanogens to simultaneously remove nitrate and excessive carbon source, methanol, in a continuous stirred tank reactor was ...
