Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory developed a highly selective catalyst that converts methane to methanol in a single, low-temperature step, potentially simplifying industrial processes.

Scientists have developed an efficient new way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. The technique could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a cleaner way to make key ...

The search for alternative energy sources continues as an ongoing quest that is increasingly driven by widespread concerns over global warming. One area of focus has been the potential use of animal ...

UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to produce biodiesel from waste oil that both simplifies the process and requires relatively mild heat. This discovery has the potential to make the ...

For many uses, liquid fuels remain the most practical energy supply—aircraft and large ships being obvious examples. It's possible to produce biofuels for these applications. But so far no one's been ...

For many applications, liquid fuels remain the most practical energy supply—applications like aircraft and large ships being obvious examples. It’s possible to avoid using fossil fuels for these ...

Evolution of landfill gas uses When combusted, methane is converted to carbon dioxide, which while still a greenhouse gas, has a much lower global warming potential than methane. Sending captured ...
