Clean, sustainable fuel produced from plastic garbage
Posted on 8 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: Researchers have shown how carbon dioxide from industrial operations or even straight from the air can be gathered and converted into sustainable, clean fuels using only solar energy.
The University of Cambridge researchers created a solar-powered reactor that transforms collected CO 2 and plastic waste into renewable fuels and other useful chemical compounds. In experiments, CO 2 was transformed into syngas, an essential component of sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic...
