This Engage plus continues the research initiated in the Engage project with GreenField. The project has just been completed but both the principle investigator and the company think it necessary to conduct more research so that they have a clear understanding of the direction of the technology research and development. As mentioned in the previous proposal, the conventional corn-to-ethanol fermentation technology just converts one third of the total carbon in corn into ethanol, leaving the other two thirds each into dry distillers' grains and carbon dioxide. Given the size of the production facilities at Greenfield Specialty Ethanol Inc. (Greenfield), over one thousand tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere every day. To mitigate the carbon emission and make use of wasting carbon resources, Greenfield has developed a novel concept for renewable "drop-in" liquid-to-fuels production. The availability of commercial CO2 reforming of CH4 catalyst is the key to the development of such a dramatic technology. The previous Engage has established a reactor setup that is able to test the shaped catalyst pellets. The reactor, made of Inconel alloy, has 9.4 mm inner diameter, and the setup can condense vapour from the gas stream allowing to handle more varieties of feedstock. The project has found a binding material formulated a procedure to make catalyst pellets. The project also showed the powder catalyst and the pellet catalyst had the similar stable performance in stimulated industrial feedstock which contained water vapour and smaller amount of CO2 relative to CH4. This Engage plus project will fulfill the following tasks: Use of couple of more binding materials for shaped catalysts preparation, tests of the shaped catalysts for CO2 reforming of CH4, and tests of the catalysts available from other sources. All the testing conditions must be the industrial conditions that GreenField provides.

该Engage plus继续了与格林菲尔德合作的Engage项目中启动的研究。该项目刚刚 已经完成，但主要研究者和公司都认为有必要进行更多的研究。 研究，使他们对技术研究和发展的方向有一个明确的认识。 如前所述，传统的玉米制乙醇发酵技术只是将 玉米中总碳的三分之一转化为乙醇，剩下的三分之二分别转化为干酒糟， 二氧化碳.鉴于格林菲尔德特种乙醇公司生产设施的规模。（格林菲尔德）， 每天有超过一千吨的二氧化碳被释放到大气中。为了减少碳排放 排放和利用浪费的碳资源，格林菲尔德开发了一个新的概念，可再生能源 “插入式”液体燃料生产。CO2重整CH4催化剂的商业化是关键 发展出如此惊人的技术 之前的Engage已经建立了一个能够测试成型催化剂颗粒的反应器设置。的 反应器内径为9.4mm，由Inconel合金制成，该装置可以冷凝气体中的蒸汽 流允许处理更多种类的原料。该项目发现了一种结合材料， 制造催化剂颗粒的程序。该项目还表明，粉末催化剂和颗粒催化剂具有 在含有水蒸气和少量水蒸气的模拟工业原料中具有类似的稳定性能。 CO2相对于CH4 该Engage plus项目将完成以下任务：使用更多的装订材料， 成型催化剂的制备，成型催化剂用于CO2重整CH4的测试，以及催化剂的测试 可从其他来源获得。所有测试条件必须是格林菲尔德 提供.
