An article in the esteemed Science magazine suggests that as much as one percent of global CO2 emissions can be saved if electrified, and significantly more compact, technology is applied across the chemical industry.
The groundbreaking technology from Haldor Topsoe produces synthesis gas (syngas), an essential building block in the production of polymers and chemicals.
Researchers from Haldor Topsoe, Technical University of Denmark, Danish Technological Institute, and Sintex have been part of the development

The improved efficiency saves CO2 in itself, but the real gain comes from replacing natural gas with electricity for heating the process to the 900°C necessary. The full potential is achieved when using green electricity from wind turbines or solar panels.

TIP: Subscribe to Haldor Topsoe’s blog (https://www.topsoe.com/content/blog)

Intriguing as it is, the post never mentions how to find the Science article cited.

TIP: Since press releases and blog posts often omit citation details, Google® the name of the publication and a few key words from the title to find the source mentioned in the announcement. That enables you to access the original article.

For example, I entered the following search string in a Google® search …

Clicking on the link provides the author names and an abstract. You would have to pay for the full article. However, even the abstract by itself offers information supplementing the text of the Haldor Topsoe post.

NOTE TO NEW READERS of the DESULFURIZATION BLOG

The blog name may be misleading. I chose it because of my background as a librarian in the oil & gas industry.

The main purpose of the blog is to offer you tips and tricks on how to maximize your efficiency when researching technology online.
