Development of CO2 reforming technology

Utilization of Greenhouse Gases for Syngas Production by Dry Reforming Process Using Reduced BaNiO3 Perovskite as a Catalyst

“…The production of clean energy from existing sources (renewable and nonrenewable) around us is one of the most comprehensive tasks for scientists and industrialists, aiming to establish an economically sustainable and a sensible technique which can consume these reserved raw materials and produce value-added products, such as liquid hydrocarbon fuels and oxygenated chemicals. One of the inevitable routes to utilizing natural gases such as liquid fuels as well as clean energy production is gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology, the pollutant technique with the lowest emission [1,2]. Towards this direction, synthesis gas, a mixture of H 2 and CO, is a skilled and efficient approach to clean energy production in the form of liquid fuel.…”

“…Towards this direction, synthesis gas, a mixture of H 2 and CO, is a skilled and efficient approach to clean energy production in the form of liquid fuel. The implementation of syngas production is an attention-grabbing topic among researchers, since it is the junction point at which we can move from the hydrocarbon age to the hydrogen age [2][3][4].…”

“…In spite of various opened channels for syngas production, the reforming of methane with various oxidants is one of the most environmental friendly and convenient techniques because of its economic viability, technical sustainability, and it being easier to process than others [2,5,6]. Depending on the H 2 /CO ratio, it can be useful for the manufacturing of many chemicals of industrial interest at a large scale.…”

“…The 1:1 ratio of H 2 /CO is, technically, processed by reforming the reaction of methane with a carbon dioxide oxidant, and this technique is well-known as the dry reforming of methane (DRM). Luckily, and as a bonus for this conversion process, both are greenhouse gases, which are responsible for global warming; moreover, this has been a well-known phenomenon for decades, which makes it easy to provide awareness about safety and the cleanness of the ecosystem to the community, which are applied and frequently used as a method for the various energetic vectors [2,5,8]. However, due to its endothermic nature, it suffers from the decomposition of methane and the disproportion of carbon monoxide as a result of coke formation, sintering, and deactivation of catalysts used in the DRM conversion process [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
