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 Penn ...

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 ...

(Phys.org)—A team of German and Italian chemists working at the University of Rostock has discovered a way to extract hydrogen from methanol at low temperatures and ambient pressure using a common ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Last August, Gov. Jay Inslee traveled to Kalama, Cowlitz County, to praise the first of three giant chemical plants proposed to turn natural gas into methanol for China’s plastics industry. The ...
