| abstract |
The present application pertains to the methods, systems and catalysts for supercritical water reforming of feedstocks, such as ethanol, into methane. A bimetallic nickel and ruthenium catalyst and method of making the catalyst is also disclosed as well as the use of the catalyst in supercritical water reforming of feedstocks. The methods, systems and catalysts are useful in batch and continuous generation of methane for various applications including for use as a raw material, in power plants as a combustible fuel, in combustion engine for vehicle and power generation as well as in gas turbines. |
