We report a ruthenium-modified zeolite which efficiently transforms propylene carbonate to propylene glycol and methane, under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst achieved high product selectivity and no significant ageing effect was observed after multiple cycles. The resulting liquid product (water-containing glycol) can be directly used as anti-freeze solution and the gas phase can directly be used as an energy carrier in the form of H-2-enriched methane. This process efficiently bridges energy storage and an important chemical synthesis under sustainable (CO2 consuming) conditions.
