Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has engineered a microbial strain capable of rapidly growing in high concentrations of methanol, marking a significant step forward in biorefinery technology.

In future, it could become easier to manufacture methanol from biomass decentrally on site. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) are proposing a method with which raw ...

Researchers have developed a new material that can convert carbon dioxide into methanol using sunlight. The material is made up of copper anchored on nanocrystalline carbon nitride. This discovery ...

The study is led by Ligang Feng (School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Yangzhou University). The rapid development of the economy driven by the large consummation of traditional fossil fuels ...

Methanol is one of the world’s most widely used chemicals, and has been since the 1800’s. It is used to make formaldehyde and acetic acid for glue, resin and plastic production, and as a key component ...

Methanol, important for the manufacture of many everyday goods and for its green energy potential, may soon be produced faster and more efficiently. (Nanowerk News) Methanol, important for the ...

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 ...

Methanol steam reforming (MSR) has emerged as a highly promising process for on-site hydrogen production, offering a viable strategy for decarbonising energy systems. This process utilises methanol—a ...

To render the production process more efficient, it would be helpful to know more about the copper/zinc oxide/aluminium oxide catalyst deployed in methanol production. To date, however, it hasn't been ...
