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.

The free fatty acid (FFA) and low concentrations of hydrogen are fed into a deoxygenation reactor. This step converts the n-alkanes to the specifications necessary for jet, diesel and gasoline fuels. Aromatization is a reaction in which the n-alkane is converted into aromatic (or cyclic) hydrocarbons. Step 1: Hydrolysis.
