Methanol production from methane employing methanotrophs represents a rapidly evolving intersection of microbiology, chemical engineering and renewable energy research. This bioconversion approach ...

ROCKLEDGE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--M2X Energy, a startup company with process technology that converts stranded natural gas into low-carbon methanol, and SCG Chemicals (SCGC), a leading petrochemicals ...

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory developed a highly selective catalyst that converts methane to methanol in a single, low-temperature step, potentially simplifying industrial processes.

Direct oxidation of methane to methanol is dominated by transition- or noble-metal-based catalysts, thus making the reaction quite expensive. To make the process efficient and cost-effective, ...
