Microwave-assisted catalytic reactions are considered energy-efficient and have attracted attention in various chemical processes. This is due to the selective and rapid heating of target materials or ...

With an improved catalyst, ORNL chemists converted two greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), to syngas, a valuable mix of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). A chemical ...

It's short-lived but its planet-heating effects are much stronger than CO2. But a new report says action on cutting methane is too slow. Where does it come from, and what can we do to stop it ...

East of Hazar, Turkmenistan, a port city on the Caspian Sea, 12 plumes of methane stream westward. Some of the plumes, detected by NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission, ...

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the ...
