Transform Materials plasma process converts abundant natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene

Green Car Congress

Transform Materials has developed a novel and sustainable microwave plasma reactor process to convert natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene, thereby opening up a new pathway for green chemical manufacturing. Acetylene can be then converted into many derivative chemicals, all possessing high value.

Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have used a chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas—commonly called “sewer gas”. Compared with the undoped sulfur carrier, Mo dopant facilitates the surface hydrogen diffusion, thus promoting the overall H 2 S conversion.

Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. The conversion reaction also produces light olefins—ethylene, propylene, and butenes—totalling a yield of 8.7%. and selectivity to C 8 –C 16 hydrocarbons of 47.8%

NNL and DNV partner to explore large-scale nuclear production of hydrogen for UK gas network

Green Car Congress

The UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) and DNV are partnering to explore the potential of nuclear-derived hydrogen to support the conversion of UK gas networks to hydrogen. This will enable consumers to continue using gas in homes, businesses and industry, in an effective way that is net-zero compliant.
