Methanol is one of the most important basic chemicals used, for example, to produce plastics or building materials. To render the production process even more efficient, it would be helpful to know ...

A new catalyst design could significantly improve the conversion of CO2 into methanol, an important fuel and chemical feedstock. Researchers separated key reaction steps across different catalyst ...

Methanol steam reforming is a catalytic process that converts liquid methanol and water vapour into hydrogen-rich synthesis gas at temperatures typically between 200 °C and 300 °C. Central to this ...

Researchers hope to produce the raw material methanol at the edge of a field or on the farm using renewable energy. In addition to wind or sun, water and CO 2 would be needed to produce the raw ...

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have achieved a significant milestone in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2) into valuable fuels and chemicals, marking an important step towards a ...

Turning "waste" natural gas that's now simply flared off at many oil wells into useful ethanol and methanol – and at an attractive price -- is now possible, thanks to technology developed by a ...

Methanol is one of the world’s most widely used chemicals, and has been since the 1800’s. It is used to make formaldehyde and acetic acid for glue, resin and plastic production, and as a key component ...

Scientists have demonstrated the selective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol using a cascade reaction strategy. The two-part process is powered by sunlight, occurs at room temperature ...

The Berlin-based start-up C1 says it has completed a 20-day continuous test showing that its developmental homogeneous catalyst can convert 95% of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into methanol in a ...
