Plastic to Hydrogen Fuel: New Process Also Captures Carbon
Only 9% of the world’s discarded plastic gets recycled. The rest piles up in landfills, floats in oceans, or gets burned for energy, releasing carbon dioxide in the process. A new chemical breakthrough from researchers at UCLA and Ewha Womans University in South Korea could change that equation entirely. They have demonstrated a process that converts mixed, unsorted plastic waste directly into high-purity hydrogen fuel while trapping most of the…
The sorting of plastic waste remains a major obstacle to recycling. A team from UCLA and Ewha Womans University now proposes to transform several mixed plastics into hydrogen directly, without separating them beforehand. The process concerns three materials.
