The Marine Clean Energy Innovation Team at Hainan University has achieved a pivotal breakthrough in methane catalytic conversion. The team has engineered a novel catalytic system capable of efficiently transforming methane into methanol with nearly 100% selectivity under mild conditions. This groundbreaking technology, characterized by its low-temperature operation, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness, serves as a cornerstone technical solution for the in-situ conversion of natural gas hydrate resources in the South China Sea. Furthermore, it holds immense promise for commercial applications.
