About NERC for C1 Chemistry Affiliated to SWRDICI, National Engineering Research Centre of C1 Chemistry was estalished in 1992 with approval of former State Scientific and Technological Commission. Taking clean fuel and C1 based chemicals synthesis as its key R&D areas , the centre has been providing technological support for diversification of energy and chemical raw materials, and meeting the technological demand of advanced material industry and energy filed. With more than 20 years of great endeavor, a series of technological achievements have been abtained in areas of hydrocarbon reforming, methanol synthesis and its downstream , resources utilization of industrail vent gas containing carbon. It was evaluated as “excellent” continuously in the interim operational evaluton and evaluated as the “excellent executive team of National Science and Technology Plan”.
