By recycling the gases passing through a pyrolysis reactor, researchers have demonstrated a more efficient way to convert methane to high-quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and clean hydrogen compared ...

Methane (CH4) pyrolysis, a reaction that produces hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide, often utilizes molten media catalysts. A recent research paper has explored how artificial intelligence and ...

As the saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right. But can two rights cancel out a wrong? It can when the right things are hydrogen and carbon--two resources packed with energy--and the wrong thing is ...

A new kind of methane reactor is promising something that has long sounded too good to be true: turning fossil gas into clean ...

Chemical engineers designed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas ...

The catalytic decomposition of methane represents a dual‐benefit process whereby hydrogen is produced without the emission of CO₂ and elemental carbon is generated as a valuable by‐product. This solid ...

Several situations, including when takeaway capacity is limited at remote oil-well sites, result in methane flaring. To avoid ...

Eager to tap hydrogen as a clean source of energy, innovators are addressing a mix of technical and economic hurdles. As COP26, the UN’s 26 th climate change summit, just confirmed, hydrogen is ...

Turning methane into ethylene with sunlight sounds like alchemy, but it is rapidly moving into the realm of practical chemistry. A new generation of solar-driven catalysts promises to convert a potent ...

AMES, Iowa – Methane, which produces more warming than other greenhouse gases and is the subject of newly announced U.S. emission restrictions, is hard to break down and keep out of the atmosphere. It ...

Today's catalysts for removing unburnt methane from natural-gas engine exhaust are either inefficient at low, start-up temperatures or break down at higher operating temperatures. A new single-atom ...
