In the journal Angewandte Chemie , Chinese scientists report on a new bifunctional catalyst that converts syngas to lower olefins (C 2 -C 4 ) with high selectivity. First the CO and H 2 are converted to methanol. The olefins can also bind hydrogen, which causes them to lose their double bond and thus forms more paraffins.

In the study, they converted biomass-derived ?-valerolactone Much effort has recently gone into pathways to produce hydrocarbons with extended carbon chains by the hydrogenation of carbohydrate derivatives. A portion of the butenes are hydrogenated and isomerized to produce isobutane. valerolactone using a solid acid catalyst.

Peabody Energy and GreatPoint Energy signed an agreement to pursue development of coal-to-gas and coal-to-hydrogen projects in the United States and around the world with carbon capture and storage (CCS) that would achieve near-zero carbon emissions, while increasing the production of stranded oil via enhanced oil recovery.

Platinum is used to catalyze the key oxygen reduction reaction in the fuel cell’s cathode, directly converting the chemical energy in hydrogen fuel into electricity, with water vapor as the byproduct. The research was supported by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

The NRL researchers presented their progress in hydrogenating CO 2 to jet fuel via a two-stage, high-yield and highly selective synthesis process. Robert Dorner and his colleagues are looking at converting CO 2 and hydrogen (both won from sea-water) over catalysts, using the CO 2 as a building block to form synthetic fuel.

Tropsch synthesis is a well-established catalytic process that converts syngas derived from fossil fuels or biomass to liquid fuel products. In this work, we report a new hydrogen-reduction route, a Pt seed method, for the aqueous one-step synthesis of Pt?Co shell structure (both in metallic states) or metal/metal oxide interfaces.
