By Liang-Shih Fan and Elena Chung, Ohio State University Coal plays a big role in America’s energy present and future. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal comprises 20 ...

What does human metabolism have in common with coal combustion? Quite a bit, it turns out, say researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) who are studying chemical looping ...

How can we burn natural gas without releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air? This feat is achieved using a special combustion method: chemical looping combustion (CLC). In this process, CO2 can be ...

Engineers say they’ve found a way to prevent carbon dioxide pollution when burning fossil fuels, a possible stop-gap solution as we move to a renewable energy future. The rest of this article is ...

Chemical looping technologies have emerged as a promising strategy to meet the dual challenges of clean hydrogen production and effective carbon dioxide capture. This approach relies on cyclic redox ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (02/18/2024) — For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one ...

Ammonia is an essential chemical used across many industries worldwide. Beyond its traditional role as a fertilizer, it is ...

The conventional route to producing sulfuric acid is via the contact process. The first step in this process is sulfur combustion which yields 12% SO 2 in air, resulting in larger downstream reactors ...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC), an advanced coal power technology that could markedly simplify carbon capture at power plants, has moved significantly closer to commercialization, owing to a ...

Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. For the first ...
