Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a highly effective new perovskite-promoted iron oxide redox catalyst for a hybrid solar-redox scheme they had proposed earlier for partial oxidation and water-splitting of methane. Schematic of the hybrid process for liquid fuel and hydrogen generation.

Researchers at the University of Georgia and North Carolina State University have used a unique temperature-dependent approach in engineering a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Pyrococcus furiosus to be able to use CO 2 and hydrogen to produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid, one of the top 12 industrial chemical building blocks.

The free fatty acid (FFA) and low concentrations of hydrogen are fed into a deoxygenation reactor. A parallel step to the fuel conversion is the separation of the by-product of hydrolysis, glycerol, from the sweet water. This hydrogen becomes part of the fuel molecule, increasing the energy density of the fuel. Click to enlarge.
