Turning environmental waste into useful chemical resources could solve many of the inevitable challenges of our growing amounts of discarded plastics, paper and food waste, according to new research.

Additionally, by incorporating an innovative membrane reactor with fine-tuned reactor conditions a higher yield of methanol is obtained, improving the efficiency of feedstock molecules like CO2 ...

“We can produce any type of solar fuel: kerosene, gasoline, diesel, methanol, hydrogen ... produced at the RISE plant in Spain to reduce CO2 emissions from its current fleet.

In the new study, the system consists of two reactors: a moving bed reducer ... For example, by measuring how much carbon dioxide their system would pump out compared to conventional processes ...

to make fertilizer and methanol. However, the majority of this is made using fossil fuels (so-called “grey hydrogen”), releasing carbon dioxide. A better way is essential for the current uses ...

Norwegian shipowner MPC Container Ships (MPCC) has taken delivery of its first dual-fueled methanol container ship ...

In this new effort, the team in China developed a dual-reactor system that tackles both problems at once—it uses carbon dioxide in the air to produce a type of protein that can be consumed as food.

"Many reduction steps are required to produce methanol, as carbon dioxide is the most highly oxidized form of carbon," explains Schuhmann. Electrocatalysis is able to initiate these steps.

Ecoplanta project 'will become the first plant in Europe to produce renewable and circular methanol from waste through ...

The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is a significant area of research aimed at addressing environmental concerns related to greenhouse gas emissions while also creating valuable ...

Converting carbon dioxide into methanol, a potentially renewable alternative fuel, offers an opportunity to simultaneously form an alternative fuel and cut down on carbon dioxide emissions. Inspired ...
