Abstract: Described herein are techniques that may be performed in an Integrated Energy System (IES) to produce Nitric Acid (HNO3) while minimizing a carbon footprint. Such techniques, as performed by a resource production plant, may comprise receiving electricity and steam from a power plant to produce Hydrogen (H2) gas from the steam at a Hydrogen (H2) production sub-plant, receiving electricity from the power plant and air from the environment to produce Nitrogen (N2) gas at a Nitrogen (N2) production sub-plant, producing Ammonia (NH3) from the Hydrogen (H2) gas and the Nitrogen (N2) gas at a nitrogen production sub-plant, and producing Nitric Acid (HNO3) from the Ammonia (NH3) at a Nitric Acid (HNO3) production sub-plant.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods having inherent carbon capture and conversion capabilities offering maximum flexibility, efficiency, and economics while simultaneously enabling environmentally and sustainably sound practices. A hybrid thermochemical cycle couples staged reforming with hydrogen production and residue chlorination. The residues of the upgrading are chlorinated, metals of interest are removed and bulk material is re-mineralized. Through the residue chlorination process, various metals including rare earths are concentrated and extracted. Energy is retained through chemical synthesis such as hydrocarbon and metal and non-metal chloride production. Produced chemicals are later exploited by redox reactions in the operation of an integrated gasification flow battery.

Abstract: Catalysts and processes designed to convert DME and/or methanol and hydrogen (H2) to desirable liquid fuels are described. These catalysts produce the fuels efficiently and with a high selectivity and yield, and reduce the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons by incorporating H2 into the products. Also described are process methods to further upgrade these fuels to higher molecular weight liquid fuel mixtures, which have physical properties comparable with current commercially used liquid fuels.

Abstract: To provide a catalyst for dehydrogenation of formic acid which allows hydrogen, heavy hydrogen gas or heavy-hydrogenated hydrogen containing no carbon monoxide to be produced through dehydrogenation of formic acid in a highly efficient manner.A catalyst for dehydrogenation of formic acid, including: a multinuclear metal complex represented by the following Formula (1), a tautomer or stereoisomer thereof, or a salt thereof, where M1 and M2 denote transition metals and may be the same as or different from each other; Q1 to Q6 each independently denote carbon or nitrogen; R1 to R6 each independently denote, for example, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a phenyl group, a nitro group, a halogen group, a sulfonate group (sulfo group); L1 and L2 each independently denote an aromatic anionic ligand or an aromatic ligand, and may be substituted by one or more substituents; Y1 and Y2 each independently denote any ligand or are absent; and m denotes a positive integer, 0, or a negative integer.
