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.

UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

The UK government is awarding £54 million to 15 projects to develop technologies that remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. The funding comes under Phase 2 of the Direct Air Capture and Greenhouse Gas Removal technologies competition. The carbon dioxide can then be permanently stored or used in various products or applications.

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”. Hydrogen sulfide is emitted from manure piles and sewer pipes and is a key byproduct of industrial activities including refining oil and gas, producing paper and mining.

Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

Water (H 2 O) microdroplets are sprayed onto a magnetic iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) and Nafion-coated graphite mesh using compressed N 2 or air as the nebulizing gas. This gas–liquid–solid heterogeneous catalytic system synthesizes ammonia in 0.2 The conversion rate reaches 32.9 ± 1.38 —Song et al. 2301206120
