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.

这项研究的目的是开发一种有效的技术，通过甲烷三重整（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。与CNRL公司合作，该项目展示了一种独特的方法，将材料制造、反应工程和工艺开发的基本原理应用于CO2转化，以生产合成气（CO+H2），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过渡所需的主要里程碑。此外，该项目将产生作为其长期目标的商业化技术所需的基本和实用知识，该项目在不同阶段的成果将直接有利于加拿大石油和天然气工业，因为温室气体管理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。这些成果将为石油生产公司提供增长空间，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工业化前水平以上2°C。这项研究的重点是11名不同层次的学生的高级培训和教育，他们将成为加拿大工业的进步，创造力和创新的未来员工。
