High-Efficiency, Durable Low-Temperature Catalytic Methane Oxidation System for On-Site Natural Gas Generators Powering LNG Compressors
Researchers in Prof. Liangbing (Bing) Hu’s Group at Yale University and their collaborators at the University of California, Riverside intend to develop a commercially scalable palladium (Pd)-based catalysts in catalytic converters for controlling natural gas generator methane emissions by engineering Pd sites and support materials at the atomic level using high-temperature shock technology. The approach is expected to strengthen U.S. capabilities in sustainable energy and environmental technology and create new workforce opportunities.
