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 ...

Nova Sustainable Fuels has awarded a contract to Thyssenkrupp Uhde for performing an integration and optimization study for its biomass-to-methanol project in Nova Scotia, Canada. The study aims to ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed an efficient new way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. The technique could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a cleaner way to make key ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The danger posed by rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has seen many schemes proposed to remove a proportion it from the air. Rather than simply capture this greenhouse gas and bury it in the ...

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 ...
