Oxford Catalysts
Oxford Catalysts produces specially catalysts for the generation of clean fuels, from both conventional fossil fuels and renewable sources such as biomass.
The company's patent-pending intellectual property and technology is the result of 19 years of research at the University of Oxford's prestigious Wolfson Catalysis Centre, headed by company co-founder Professor Malcom Green, one of the word's most respected inorganic chemists.
Each of the catalysts boasts several of the following key benefits:
- Greater cost effectiveness
- Higher productivity (double in some cases)
- Better selectivity (leading to higher quality output)
- Increased resistance to contaminants
- Longer operational life
Core products include catalysts for the following markets:
- Petro/chemicals: removing sulphur from gasoline/diesel and converting natural gas or coal into ultraclean liquid fuels
- Fuel Cells: generating hydrogen on-demand from methanol starting at room temperature or from conventional hydrocarbon fuels by reforming at higher temperatures
- Biogas Conversion: transforming waste methane into the chemical building blocks of liquid fuels
- Portable Steam: creating superheated steam instantaneously from methanol and hydrogen peroxide
