Discovery from academics collaborating with Shell could enable a sustainable energy future, with a reduced global warming threat
A method for making hydrogen from methane without emitting carbon dioxide could be a new route to a sustainable future for fossil fuels. Chemists and engineers at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) in the US bubble methane through a molten bismuth–nickel catalyst, converting 95% into graphite and hydrogen.
