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 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 ...

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 ...

A team of researchers from Stanford University and the University of Leuven in Belgium has further elucidated an intriguing process that could be an important step toward a methanol fuel economy with ...

The direct oxidation of methane -- found in natural gas -- into methanol at low temperatures has long been a holy grail. Now, researchers have found a breakthrough way to accomplish the feat using 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 ...

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 ...

While Tacoma’s controversial proposed methanol plant remains on hold, the China-backed company behind the project is encountering less vocal opposition to its push to build two similar, smaller ...
