A $1.4 billion methanol-to-jet-fuel facility is planned for St. Charles Parish, bringing 120 projected jobs and state incentives as questions remain about feedstock sourcing and environmental concerns ...
Fairway Methanol, a joint venture between Celanese and Mitsui & Co., has started up a carbon capture and utilization system at Celanese’s plant in Clear Lake, Texas, that turns 180,000 metric tons (t) ...
A more sustainable method of creating methanol—a key component of fuels, plastics, and medicines—has been developed by Cardiff University scientists and an international team of collaborators. The ...
Efficient methanol synthesis is considered a promising approach for carbon resource recycling. Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is thermodynamically favored at low temperatures, but ...
A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.
