DICP team demonstrates direct synthesis of isoparaffin-rich gasoline from syngas

Green Car Congress

Previously, the DICP team proposed a new catalyst concept based on metal oxide-zeolite (OXZEO) bi-functional catalysts. This catalyst enabled the direct conversion of syngas to a variety of chemicals and fuels with high selectivity, such as light olefins, ethylene, gasoline, aromatics and oxygenates.
