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 ...

BASF is patenting a process that it says will produce methanol without greenhouse gas emissions. The process begins with making synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, via partial ...

Dramatic improvements have been made to the process of converting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to methanol, a fuel and building block for a wide range of everyday materials, according to ...

The global distribution of natural resources (oil, gas and coal) for energy and chemical provisions is uneven on the biosphere, which has been giving rise to severe political and economic issues in ...

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 ...

KBR, Inc. KBR has inked a deal with Johnson Matthey (JM) to license a groundbreaking ammonia-methanol co-production process. Notably, this co-production process will combine KBR's proprietary PURIFIER ...

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 ...

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 ...

Incorporating gas heated reforming (GHR) technology into autothermal reforming (ATR)-based GTL processes offers combined benefits of significantly higher carbon efficiency and lower capital cost. An ...

An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ...
