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

Griffith University researchers have developed innovative, eco-friendly quantum materials that can drive the transformation of methanol into ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is an important chemical ...

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is choking off China’s imports of methanol – a vital input for the country’s industrial ...

Iran announces complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz! The global energy "lifeline" is severed! The Strait of Hormuz handles approximately one-fifth of the world's seaborne oil and liquefied natural ...

Abstract Methanol is an attractive one-carbon feedstock for sustainable biomanufacturing because of its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and industrial ...

Methanol has a wide range of uses including creating plastics, paints, and construction materials as well as being used as a fuel for transport. Methanol production traditionally uses natural gas, but ...

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, ...
