For every ton of ethylene created, one ton of carbon dioxide is produced. With more than 300 million tons of ethylene produced each year, the production system has a huge carbon footprint that ...
Ethylene—the chemical used to create much of the world’s plastics—has a carbon problem that Professor Ted Sargent is working ...
Scientists have developed a new iron-based catalyst that improves the typically low hydrogen atom economy (HAE) in the direct synthesis of olefins—small hydrocarbon molecules. It converts the water ...
GE recently shipped its first two syngas turbines to Duke Energy’s integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power plant in Edwardsport, Ind., which is expected to be the largest, most advanced ...
The prototype DACCU device for producing syngas from air. (Credit: Sayan Kar, University of Cambridge) The envisioned usage scenario would be CO2 adsorption during the night, with concentrated solar ...
We are another step closer to renewable energy sources with the 'clean' production of syngas, thanks to the EU Horizon 2020 project SPOTLIGHT. The SPOTLIGHT consortium uses sunlight and photonics to ...
The latest short science news items from C&EN. “This is a breakthrough in the synthesis of ethylene glycol,” says Eric Doris, who studies carbon nanomaterials and catalysis at CEA Paris-Saclay, a part ...
A revolutionary shift from naphtha and petroleum feedstock to natural gas driven supply chain is occurring in the global chemicals market. Huge natural gas reserves have been unearthed, thanks to the ...
An improvement to the catalyst that converts methane to syngas could lead to a more economical process. Hokkaido University researchers have created an improved catalyst for the conversion of methane ...
