New System Captures Carbon From Flue Gas And Makes Ethylene
January 4, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago have built a machine that captures carbon from flue gas and converts it to ethylene. The device integrates a carbon capture system with an ethylene conversion system for the first time. The system not only runs on electricity, but it also removes more carbon from the environment […]

New “Holy Grail Catalyst” Turns Methane Into Methanol
August 31, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. The method takes place under continuous flow over a photo-catalytic material using visible light to drive the conversion. To help observe how the process works and how selective it […]
