Catalysts Directly Make Methanol Fuel
September 13, 2017 | 8 Comments
Cardiff University scientists have catalyzed methanol from methane using oxygen from the air. Methanol is currently produced by breaking down natural gas at high temperatures. But researchers have discovered they can produce methanol from methane through simple catalytic action that allows methanol production at low temperatures using oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The findings have major […]

Finding Natural Gas the Second Time Around
August 18, 2016 | 1 Comment
University of Michigan researchers have flown aircraft over an oil and gas field and pinpointed with unprecedented precision the sources of the natural gas or methane leaks in real time. The technique led to the detection and immediate repair of two leaks in natural gas pipelines in the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest. […]

Low Cost Catalyst Makes Natural Gas From CO2
September 3, 2015 | 4 Comments
Research by Professor Marc Koper and PhD student Jing Shen at University in Leiden, the Netherlands, discovered a new catalyst that makes natural gas from CO2. The team is showing how this process can be implemented in a cost-effective and controllable way for carbon dioxide recycling. The conversion of the greenhouse gas CO2 into natural […]

Solar to Hydrogen Plus CO2 Makes Natural Gas
August 27, 2015 | Leave a Comment
A team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has now developed a hybrid system that produces renewable molecular hydrogen and uses it to synthesize carbon dioxide into methane, the primary constituent of natural gas. The team had already cleared quite a milestone with their hybrid system of […]

Free Access to Biogas Research Production Data
August 5, 2015 | 1 Comment
The open access journal GigaScience has presented a virtual package of data for biogas production. The virtual package has been made reusable in a containerized form to allow scientists to better understand the production of biofuels. The biogas topic is the production of methane through the anaerobic digestion (fermentation) of organic matter. The work offered […]
