Scientists Turn Hard-to-Recycle Plastics Into Clean Hydrogen Fuel

Scientists turn hard-to-recycle plastics into clean hydrogen fuel

In a major step forward for recycling and clean energy, a research team in South Korea has found a way to turn difficult-to-recycle plastics into hydrogen, using a new process that is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Led by Dr. Chong-Pyo Cho at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), the team developed the country’s […] The post Scientists turn hard-to-recycle plastics into clean hydrogen fuel appeared first on Knowridge Scien…

Scientists create sustainable green hydrogen using soda cans and seawater

Hydrogen has long been seen as the fuel of the future—a clean, efficient alternative to fossil fuels. But while it burns cleanly, most of today’s methods for making it still rely on dirty processes. The most common method, called steam methane reforming, emits 9 to 12 kilograms of carbon dioxide for every kilogram of hydrogen it produces. That’s far from green. A new study offers a better path. Researchers at MIT have found a way to produce hydr…
