The past decade has seen a rapid growth in research and technology devoted to the use of renewable energy resources, principally biomass and solar radiation, at the same time that reserves of fossil energy have increased as a consequence of using advanced drilling methods to release natural gas and petroleum from shale. The changes suggest that future research will focus on both the conversion of conventional energy resources in a manner that result in their efficient use and on the discovery and development of conversion technologies for utilization of renewable energy resources.展开更多

Five years ago, the Editorial Board of the Journal was reorganized and moved to the Dalian Institute of Chemistry Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Journal has concentrated on the reporting of fundamental research and development information in the field of natural gas chemistry and related areas, and has made great contributions to the advancement of natural gas research and related areas in the world.展开更多

Efforts in this direction are further driven by the desire to avoid the generation of CO2 and its emission to the atmosphere, as occurs when methane is steam-retbrmed to produce synthesis gas, a mixture of CO and H2 that can be used for the production of fuels and chemicals via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. During the past forty years, numerous investigators have attempted to convert methane to higher value products by either thermal dehydrogenation or by oxidative dehydrogenation. While methane can be converted to benzene and hydrogen via thermal dehydrogenation,展开更多
