Researchers have developed a new photocatalyst that could render steam methane reforming entirely emissions-free and extend catalyst lifetimes. As a clean-burning, potent and versatile energy ...

The steam-methane reformer is one of the chemical industry’s most brutal juggernauts. Surrounded by a 900 °C inferno of natural gas, the reactor heats methane and water it holds inside, causing the ...

National strategies and policy papers often offer the earliest clear indications of a government's commitment to promoting ...

The optimal design of a novel zeolite catalyst enables tandem reaction that turns greenhouse gases into value-added chemicals, report scientists. By tuning the separation between different active ...

Engineers at Raven SR Inc., Pinedale, Wyo., have developed the SR2, a non-combustion equilibrium steam/CO 2 reformer that converts methane to transportation-grade hydrogen. In tests, the prototype ...

Generally, when we talk about the production of hydrogen, the discussion is about either electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen, or steam methane reforming (SMR). Although electrolysis is ...

A catalyst with a hydrophobic cavity that contains an active iron centre has been developed to convert methane into methanol. It has a ‘catch-and-release’ mechanism whereby a hydrophobic methane ...
