Hydrogen-powered vehicles promise no local emission motoring, but face significant problems in the refueling and storage of the hydrogen fuel. Students at the Technical University of Eindhoven in The ...

Held together by only one carbon atom, formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. The market for this chemical is relatively small as well—a fraction of the demand for organic acids such as ...

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO2 and convert it into valuable products.

Flowchart of the process (above) for producing formic acid through the conversion of newly developed carbon dioxide (CO2) using Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU), and pilot-scale process verification ...

Hydrogen fuel cells have long been floated as a potential platform for zero-emission vehicles, but problems with efficiency and storage have put up some roadblocks. Rather than using hydrogen in its ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel electrochemical system that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, into high-value chemical products, like ...

Ants use their own acid to disinfect themselves and their stomachs. A team has found that formic acid kills harmful bacteria in the animal's food, thereby reducing the risk of disease. At the same ...

Taminco has signed an agreement to acquire Kemira’s formic acid business for $190 million. Allentown, Pa.-based Taminco, which bills itself as the world’s largest producer of alkylamines, says the ...
