The aim of this proposed research is the development of an efficient technology to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) via tri-reforming of methane (TRM) to produce value-added products. Tri-reforming of methane is a combination of Dry Reforming of Methane (DRM), Steam Reforming of Methane (SRM), and Partial Oxidation of Methane (POM), which is an mildly endothermic process that eliminates the individual disadvantages of the above three processes.In collaboration with CNRL Corp., an Alberta-based oil Company, this project demonstrates a unique approach in applying the fundamentals of material fabrication, reaction engineering, and process development to CO2 conversion in order to produce syngas (CO+H2), enabling further value-added chemicals and fuels such as methanol, dimethyl ether (DME), hydrogen amongst other products, creating job opportunities for local communities leading to sustainable socio-economic development. This partnership will allow us to meet major milestones required to reduce GHGs emissions and transition to a lower carbon economic system. In addition, this project will generate fundamental and practical knowledge required for the commercialized technologies that are its long-term objective.The outcomes of this project at different stages will directly benefit the Canadian oil and gas industry, as GHG regulation plays an increasingly important role in its activities. The proposal will create innovative strategies that is expected to make technical, environmental, and socio-economic impacts. The outcomes will give oil-producing companies room to grow while cutting carbon emissions and, at the same time, complying with the 2015 Paris agreement to reduce GHG emissions to limit the global temperature increase to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. This research study is centered on the advanced training and education of 11 students at different levels who will become progressive, creative and innovative future employees of Canadian industry.

这项拟议研究的目的是开发一种有效的技术，通过甲烷三次重整 (TRM) 转化二氧化碳 (CO2)，以生产增值产品。甲烷三重整是甲烷干重整 (DRM)、甲烷蒸汽重整 (SRM) 和甲烷部分氧化 (POM) 的组合，这是一种温和的吸热过程，消除了上述三种过程各自的缺点。该项目与阿尔伯塔省石油公司 CNRL Corp. 合作，展示了一种应用材料制造、反应基础原理的独特方法。 工程和工艺开发将二氧化碳转化为合成气（CO+H2），从而进一步实现增值化学品和燃料，如甲醇、二甲醚（DME）、氢气等产品，为当地社区创造就业机会，从而实现可持续的社会经济发展。这种伙伴关系将使我们能够实现减少温室气体排放和向低碳经济体系转型所需的重要里程碑。此外，该项目还将产生其长期目标商业化技术所需的基础和实践知识。该项目在不同阶段的成果将直接使加拿大石油和天然气行业受益，因为温室气体监管在其活动中发挥着越来越重要的作用。该提案将制定创新战略，预计将产生技术、环境和社会经济影响。其成果将为石油生产企业提供增长空间，同时减少碳排放，同时遵守 2015 年巴黎协议，减少温室气体排放，将全球气温上升限制在比工业化前水平高 2°C 的范围内。这项研究的重点是对11名不同级别的学生进行高级培训和教育，他们将成为加拿大工业界进步、富有创造力和创新精神的未来员工。
