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 ...

A Yale-led research team has developed the first standalone device that produces the liquid fuel methanol using only sunlight ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

IIT-Guwahati join hands with Hyderabad-based company for commercial production of bio-methanol ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
