Researchers develop bi-metallic catalyst for thermocatalytic decomposition of methane: H2 with low or no CO2

Green Car Congress

20 nm) are selective toward the formation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), while small Ni particle sizes (i.e., Solid carbon that accumulates on the catalyst is washed and separated for commercial use, while the metallic precursors are re-synthesized and recycled back into the reactor. Further, large Ni particle sizes (i.e., >20

DOE Regional Partner Initiates Coal Seam CO2 Injection and Methane Recovery Study in Virginia

Green Car Congress

A US Department of Energy (DOE) team of regional partners has begun injecting carbon dioxide into coal seams in the Central Appalachian Basin to determine the feasibility of CO 2 storage in unmineable coal seams and the potential for enhanced coalbed methane recovery. This area has been assessed by researchers to have the capacity to store 1.3
