The aim of catalytic reforming is to transform, as much as possible, hydrocarbons with low octane to hydrocarbons with high octane. The chemical reactions that lead to these changes are guided by a ...

With an improved catalyst, ORNL chemists converted two greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), to syngas, a ...

Steam methane reforming (SMR) could be performed without emissions following the development of a catalyst that uses light rather than heat to drive reactions. The research from Rice University in ...

A chemical reaction can transform two harmful greenhouse gases into useful components for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but ...

A team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has improved a reaction called dry reforming of ...

researchers at Rice University have developed a catalyst that could make steam methane reforming (SMR) completely emissions-free by utilizing light instead of heat to drive the reaction.

A chemical reaction can convert methane and CO2 into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high ...

Rice University researchers have developed a catalyst that could render steam methane reforming (SMR) entirely emissions-free by using light rather than heat to drive the reaction. Moreover ...

The researchers have filed a patent application to protect their invention, which reduces catalyst deactivation.

Sustainable SMR In the pursuit of lowering greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen has gained much attention as a potentially “clean” energy source. Typically, hydrogen is produced by steam methane reformi ...
