Keele scientists have developed a new kind of electrolyzer that produces both hydrogen and the base materials for sustainable plastic production, opening avenues for a range of applications in green technology and sustainable development.
Researchers at Keele University in the UK have developed an electrolyser that simultaneously gains green hydrogen from food waste and raw materials for sustainable plastics. Dr. Charlie Creissen and Ph.D. Lewis Cousins have fundamentally altered the device's nuclear response and achieved industrially relevant response rates. Worldwide, food waste generates eight to ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions, while conventional plastic production re…
