Formic acid exerts a significant influence on atmospheric chemistry and rainwater acidity. Satellite observations and model simulations suggest that terrestrial vegetation accounts for around 90% of ...

Crows perform an unusual “anting” ritual, rubbing ants on their feathers. This behaviour may reduce parasites, act as natural ...

New research shows that formic acid could be used as a safe, easy-to-transport source of hydrogen for fuel cells. Matthias Beller and his colleagues at the Leibniz Institute of Catalysis, in Rostock, ...

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 ...

Table 1 Description of the simulations and inversions performed in this study, and global HCOOH budget calculated with IMAGESv2 and comparison with previous work. Both the magnitude and distribution ...

Researchers develop a new method for the sustainable use of carbon dioxide. New synthetic metabolic pathways for fixation of carbon dioxide could not only help to reduce the carbon dioxide content of ...

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 ...

A study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society has recreated in the laboratory chemical reactions that may have occurred on Earth about four billion years ago, producing the first ...

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 ...
