Developed experimental design and set up for feasibility of using hemoglobin as a catalyst to convert methane to methanol, supporting the proof of concept and opening avenues for future research. Provided evidence of ~3% yield for methanol production at ambient temperatures and pressures Analyzed the experiments safety using Fault Tree Analysis, Root Cause Failure, and Hazards and Operability techniques.
