The United States proven reserves of natural gas have nearly doubled in the past 15 years as a result of technologies to extract gas from shale formations. A sizeable fraction of these reserves are located in remote areas. Currently, the infrastructure and economics are not favorable for transporting the Light Hydrocarbon (LHC) alkane constituents (methane, ethane, propane, and butanes) of this ?stranded? gas to centralized plants where they can be processed to valuable liquid fuels and chemical intermediates. The NSF Engineering Research Center for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources (CISTAR) aims to provide basic research understanding in the areas of catalysis, separations, and process design needed to develop small, modular, local, and highly-networked processing plants that will convert LHCs from remote shale resources to liquid chemicals and transportation fuels, thereby economically utilizing resources that would otherwise be underutilized. To this end, CISTAR?s overarching goal is to provide the technological innovation and a diverse highly-trained workforce to realize the potential of shale gas as a lower-carbon-footprint ?bridge fuel? to a future sustainable energy economy. CISTAR is led by Purdue University, with partners at Northwestern University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of New Mexico, and the University of Texas-Austin. CISTAR will take advantage of scientific and engineering discoveries in the areas of catalytic and membrane materials to enable the development of innovative process designs for economical production of liquid chemicals and transportation fuels by combining new catalytic alkane dehydrogenation and olefin oligomerization steps with novel separations. The overall process will operate with feedstocks (ethane and C2+), and at conversions and temperatures not possible with current commercial catalysts, to eliminate large capital and energy costs normally associated with olefin separation and purification. CISTAR will also explore new opportunities for the oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene, which can then be used as a feedstock for conversion to liquid fuels. Fundamental knowledge will be transferred to processes for chemicals and fuels using testbeds ranging from lab-scale up to a full-size pilot plant with economic evaluations using systems-level lifecycle and environmental impact analysis. An integrated plant design will be comprehensively optimized to meet local, state, and federal policies, as well as safety and environmental standards. The CISTAR Innovation Ecosystem will bring together the key industrial partners and non-industrial stakeholders such as government agencies, regulators, NGOs, and consumers to commercialize the Center?s research discoveries and to maximize benefits to society. Strong research and education integration will be vital for launching the next-generation hydrocarbon workforce and petrochemical and energy industry leaders. CISTAR brings proven, field-shaping capabilities in university and precollege education to address a critical workforce void and develop diverse students with technical and professional skills to lead and innovate in the separations, reaction engineering, systems engineering, and catalysis communities. Outreach programs will be aimed at fostering public awareness of safe and environmentally responsible ways to use U.S. hydrocarbon resources as a bridge to a renewable energy future.

由于从页岩地层中提取天然气的技术，在过去15年中，美国经过证明的天然气储量几乎翻了一番。 这些储量中很大一部分位于偏远地区。 目前，基础设施和经济学不利于运输光烃（LHC）烷烃成分（甲烷，乙烷，丙烷和丁烷）？气体到集中植物，可以将它们加工成有价值的液态燃料和化学中间体。 NSF工程研究中心的创新和战略性转型的烷烃资源（CISTAR）旨在在催化，分离和过程设计领域提供基础研究理解，以开发小型，模块化，本地和高度网络的加工厂将LHC从远程页岩资源转换为液体化学品和运输燃料，从而经济地利用原本未充分利用的资源。 为此，Cistar的总体目标是提供技术创新和多样化的训练有素的劳动力，以实现页岩气作为低碳纤维的潜力？到未来的可持续能源经济。 凯斯塔（Cistar）由普渡大学（Purdue University）领导，与西北大学，巴黎圣母院，新墨西哥大学和德克萨斯大学 - 奥斯汀大学的合作伙伴。 CISTAR将利用催化和膜材料领域中的科学和工程发现，以通过将新的催化烷烃脱氢和烯烃的烯烃脱氢和烯烃的低聚步骤与新的分离相结合，从而使创新的工艺设计开发以经济生产液体化学物质和运输燃料。整个过程将使用原料（乙烷和C2+）以及当前商业催化剂不可能进行的转换和温度运行，以消除通常与烯烃分离和纯化相关的大型资本和能源成本。 Cistar还将探索甲烷与乙烯氧化偶联的新机会，然后将其用作转换为液体燃料的原料。基本知识将使用从实验室规模到全尺寸的飞行员工厂的测试床转移到化学和燃料的过程中，并使用系统级别的生命周期和环境影响分析进行经济评估。综合工厂设计将经过全面优化，以符合当地，州和联邦政策，以及安全和环境标准。 CISTAR创新生态系统将汇集关键的工业伙伴和非工业利益相关者，例如政府机构，监管机构，非政府组织和消费者，以使中心的研究发现商业化并最大程度地利用对社会的利益。 强大的研究和教育融合对于推出下一代碳氢化合物劳动力以及石化和能源行业的领导者至关重要。 Cistar带来了大学和预科教育的经验证明，以解决关键的劳动力空白，并以技术和专业技能为领导和创新的多元化学生，从而在分离，反应工程，系统工程和催化社区中进行创新。 外展计划将旨在促进公众对使用美国碳氢化合物资源作为可再生能源未来的桥梁的安全和环境负责的方式。
