Project description
 

An innovative process for the valorization of bio and/or natural gas (methane) is developed. New catalysts are needed for methane oxidative coupling, ethylene oligomerization and the conversion of methanol to olefins. Also some challenging separation issues need to be addressed. The entire concept results in a CO2 neutral process to provide the modern and future society in their energy needs.
