TLDR
The definition and the four key principles of green carbon science are discussed and some related fields including petroleum refining, the production of liquid fuels and chemicals from coal and methane, and transformations of CO2 and biomass into fuels andchemicals are highlighted.Abstract:
The general principles of green chemistry guide the design of environmentally benign products and processes. It is known that the efficient utilization of carbon resources and carbon recycling are of great importance for the sustainable development of our society, and there are many related challenging scientific issues to be solved. Herein we attempt a holistic view on carbon resource processing, utilization, and recycling, and we call this “green carbon science”. We will discuss the definition and the four key principles of green carbon science and highlight some related fields including petroleum refining, the production of liquid fuels and chemicals from coal and methane, and transformations of CO2 and biomass into fuels and chemicals.read more

TL;DR: Experimental and computational studies reveal that isolated Ni atoms are intrinsically coke-resistant due to their unique ability to only activate the first C-H bond in CH4, thus avoiding methane deep decomposition into carbon and offers new opportunities to develop large-scale DRM processes using earth abundant catalysts.
