Methanol is a high-demand industrial chemical used to make many products people use every day as fuel for ships and ...
Researchers at Northwestern University in the US have successfully produced methanol from methane gas ...
Current methanol production from methane requires extreme heat and pressure, making it energy-intensive and a major source of carbon dioxide emissions. Researchers used low-temperature plasma ...
Inside a submerged glass tube, tiny bolts of plasma pulse through bubbling methane gas. It looks like miniature lightning, but this electrified reaction tackles a problem that has frustrated chemists ...
The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, and environmentally detrimental.
