While natural gas (of which methane is the primary component) is an abundant source of energy, it is normally found in remote areas and for its successful exploitation it needs to be processed. The processing usually requires significant energy and resources input. In this project we will develop a fundamental understanding to a single step catalytic process that can utilise natural gas and nitrous oxide (both potent greenhouse gases) and oxygen to produce selectively methanol and hydrocarbons from a natural gas feedstream in a controlled manner. A single step process for natural gas conversion utilising waste green-house gases is expected to be of great benefit to the Australian economy, environment and energy security

虽然天然气(其中甲烷是主要成分)是一种丰富的能源，但它通常在偏远地区找到，为了成功开采，需要对其进行加工。这一过程通常需要大量的能量和资源投入。在这个项目中，我们将对一步催化过程有一个基本的了解，该过程可以利用天然气和一氧化二氮(两种强有力的温室气体)和氧气，以受控的方式从天然气进料流中选择性地生产甲醇和碳氢化合物。利用废弃的温室气体进行天然气转化的一步法有望为澳大利亚的经济、环境和能源安全带来巨大好处。
