Production and Utilization of Methane Biogas as Renewable Fuel

Light-driven oxidation of CH4 to C1 chemicals catalysed by an organometallic Ru complex with O2

“…CH 4 is one of the most promising resources of energy and materials because it has high affinity with renewable energy, and has become capable of being easily and abundantly obtained in biomethane form from biomass by means of recent technological developments. 1,2 In order to use CH 4 in industrial processes instead of naphtha, innovative and useful transformation methods are now strongly demanded. However, its inertness in view of its physical and chemical properties makes CH 4 one of the most unreactive molecules.…”
