Production and Use of Liquid Fuel as a Hydrogen and/or Syngas Carrier

This invention describes a specific chemical catalyst designed to turn liquid methanol or ethanol into syngas. The catalyst uses a metal alumina spinel material, such as magnesium or calcium aluminate, coated with metals like copper, magnesium, nickel, or zinc, and also includes lanthanum. This process is a key step in using liquid fuels to transport hydrogen or syngas for making low-carbon chemicals or hydrogen.

Why it matters: Since 2023, rapid advancements in renewable hydrogen production and CO2 capture technologies have made the upstream synthesis of low-carbon methanol and ethanol more viable, increasing the need for efficient catalysts like this one to convert them back into syngas.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCatalyst synthesis, high-temperature reactor, chemical engineering expertise.
