FIRMS can cut emissions by efficiently converting unwanted carbon dioxide into a potential money-spinner, using a new system developed by Japanese engineering firm IHI Corporation and the Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences (ICES), a unit of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star).
The reactor system, which uses a specially-developed catalyst, allows for efficient conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to methane. Methane is the main component of liquefied natural gas, used for most of Singapore's electricity generation.
