A fundamental discovery about the Fischer–Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

From 5 to 7 May 2025, Mülheim an der Ruhr will become a meeting place for international researchers from science and industry: A top-class scientific conference will honour the Fischer-Tropsch ...

Suitable catalysts are of great importance for efficient power-to-X applications—but the molecular processes occurring during their use have not yet been fully understood. Using X-rays from a ...

In a scene reminiscent of a television commercial, a man holds a glass of water-white liquid and extols the virtues of a process for making ultraclean diesel fuel. But there's no soothing background ...

The Fischer Tropsch process was found to oscillate between high and low activity states, a behavior that could enhance the reaction rate and yield of desired products. Traditionally misunderstood, ...

Carbon recycling company LanzaTech and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer LanzaJet have launched an alternative to using costly Fischer-Tropsch technology to convert waste into liquid fuels. The ...

Incorporating gas heated reforming (GHR) technology into autothermal reforming (ATR)-based GTL processes offers combined benefits of significantly higher carbon efficiency and lower capital cost. An ...

First the feedstock methane is broken down by reacting it with oxygen in the form of steam or air to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In the second phase this syngas is fed to ...

A well-known reaction, Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) has been receiving increased attention recently as a result of the growing interest in the microGTL process. Compact units are required for ...
