Catalysis for Control of Methane Slip in Marine Machinery - Using a Palladium based Catalyst
(Master thesis, 2016)In a world distributing more and more liquefied natural gas (LNG), due to it`s advantages within health, environment and energy compared to gasoline and diesel, it is favourable to research more within this area. The main ... -
Catalysis for control of methane slip in marine machinery - Using platinum-based catalysts
(Master thesis, 2016)Greenhouse gas abatement in the shipping industry has become increasingly relevant in the recent years, due to stricter laws and regulations. The use of ships running on liquid natural gas is thus growing rapidly in the ... -
Catalytic Conversion of Kerogen in Enhanced Oil Production from Shales
(Master thesis, 2016)Low oil prices, limited oil reserves and an anticipated increase in global energy demand calls for alternative sources of energy. Oil production from shales is an unconventional hydrocarbon source which is currently too ... -
Catalytic Methane Abatement for Natural Gas Engines
(Master thesis, 2018)To reduce the greenhouse emissions it is proposed to use natural gas vehicles in the marine sector, instead of conventional vehicles using heavy fuel oil. Use of natural gas will reduce NOx, SOx and CO2 emissions, and will ... -
Catalytic upgrading of Biomass derived Oxygenate on Copper based Catalysts.
(Master thesis, 2017)Renewable production of propylene glycol (PG) has great interest. This can be produced from biomass derived chemicals instead of today s production, where PG is conventionally produced from petroleum derived chemicals. Acetol, ... -
Cobalt/Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Olefin Production in Fischer-Tropsch
