Using Methane to Support Renewables for Decarbonisation

  • Stephen A. Lloyd and
  • William J. Atteridge

12 December 2025

The cost of “carbon net zero by year 2050” for the UK will be high, and this target date can only be achieved if the project is undertaken in a progressive and timely manner; otherwise, costs will escalate. The base power source behind th...

Performance Evaluation of Different Reactor Concepts for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane on Miniplant Scale

  • Tim Karsten,
  • Abigail Perez Ortiz,
  • Reinhard Schomäcker and
  • Jens-Uwe Repke

21 October 2025

In this study, three different reactor concepts for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction are examined at the miniplant scale. Their performance and response to variations in key process parameters, such as temperature and gas hourly space...

  • Mary E. Lidstrom

15 October 2025

Methane, a greenhouse gas which has a global warming potential 80 times greater than carbon dioxide on a 20-year time scale, greatly contributes to global warming. Removing 1 Gt of atmospheric methane by 2050 would limit global temperature increase f...
