New Cleaner Safer Energetic Rocket Fuel

April 10, 2019 | Leave a Comment

McGill University research shows that it may be possible to create rocket fuel that is much cleaner and safer than the hypergolic fuels that are commonly used today. And still just as effective. The new fuels use simple chemical ‘triggers’ to unlock the energy of one of the hottest new materials, a class of porous […]

Material Found to Save Energy In Petrochemical Production

March 29, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) chemical engineers have developed a new method used to considerably improve energy-expensive petrochemical processes. The technology can make metal-organic framework membranes reduce energy use in processes such as propylene-propane separation, which accounts for 40% of energy used in the global petrochemical industry. Its a case of same amount of […]

New Catalyst Converts CO2 to Natural Gas

June 29, 2017 | Leave a Comment

University of Adelaide in Australia scientists have a new process for carbon neutral fuel with the development of a new efficient catalyst that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air into synthetic natural gas in a ‘clean’ process using solar energy. The research undertaken by University of Adelaide in collaboration with CSIRO could make viable […]
