“One, we solve the waste plastic issue, because p Research scientist Hong Lu’s team at the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center produced ethylbenzene, a key SAF additive, from recycled ...
In the EU, 31% of plastic products go to landfill: but a process called "cold plasma pyrolysis" could turn them into clean fuels. In the EU, 31% of plastic products go to landfill: but a process ...
The CO 2 emissions from plastic waste-to-energy systems are higher than those from current fossil fuel-based power systems per unit of power generated, even after considering the contribution of carbon capture and storage. Power generation using plastic waste will significantly increase by 2050.
The UTC Power fuel cell system uses natural gas which is converted in a "catalytic reformer" into hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water. The hydrogen is used to run the four fuel cell stacks to produce electricity and the power plant then converts the exhaust heat into cooling and heating, turning potential waste into usable energy.
Xyleco is developing a process to convert biomass into useful products, [2] including cellulosic ethanol. [3] The board of directors includes Steven Chu . Former US Secretary of State George Shultz was a board member until his death in February of 2021. [ 4 ]
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the new technologies that scientists hope will play an important role in tackling the climate crisis.
Since the end of the 19th century they have been increasingly superseded by fossil-fuel plastics derived from petroleum or natural gas (fossilized biomass is not considered to be renewable in reasonable short time). Today, in the context of bioeconomy and circular economy, bioplastics are gaining interest again. Conventional petro-based ...
Plastic recycling is the processing of plastic waste into other products. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Recycling can reduce dependence on landfills , conserve resources and protect the environment from plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
