Most of Australia’s natural gas reserves are located in the remote north-west shelf, many of which are small-scale and thus cannot be economically harnessed using conventional methods such as the pipeline transportation or gas liquefaction. In this project, novel light-weight membrane reactors will be designed for converting natural gas to syngas. By integrating advanced membrane and catalysis technologies, this projects aim to minimise reactor weight and operational costs, thus potentially making it possible to harness Australia’s remote and stranded gas reserves.

澳大利亚的大部分天然气储量位于偏远的西北大陆架，其中许多是小规模的，因此无法使用管道运输或天然气液化等传统方法进行经济治理。在该项目中，将设计用于将天然气转化为合成气的新型轻质膜反应器。通过集成先进的膜和催化技术，这些项目旨在将反应堆重量和运营成本降至最低，从而有可能利用澳大利亚偏远和搁浅的天然气储量。
