Produce Natural Gas While Storing Carbon Dioxide
July 11, 2019 | Leave a Comment
New research at The University of Texas at Austin (UT) shows that injecting air and carbon dioxide into methane ice deposits buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural gas energy resources while helping fight climate change by trapping the carbon dioxide underground. The study, published in the journal Water Resources Research, used […]

Making Ammonia Without Using Natural Gas
January 29, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Case Western Reserve University researchers have come up with a new way to create ammonia from nitrogen and water at low temperature and low pressure. They’ve done it successfully so far in a laboratory without using hydrogen or the solid metal catalyst necessary in traditional processes. Ammonia, a compound first synthesized about a century ago, […]

A New Idea On Catalysts Should Improve Performance
April 26, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Brown University researchers have developed a new theory to explain why stretching or compressing metal catalysts can make them perform better. The theory, described in the journal Nature Catalysis, could open new design possibilities for new catalysts with new capabilities. Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions. The vast majority of industrial catalysis involves […]

Make Liquid Fuel From CO2 and Natural Gas
October 12, 2017 | 5 Comments
University of Liverpool researchers have made a significant breakthrough in the direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into liquid fuels and chemicals which could help industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while producing valuable chemical feedstocks. Or, its recycling some of the CO2. Its a very interesting catalytic process. In a paper […]
