From trash to fuel: US scientist unlocks green hydrogen potential in plastic bottles | The research uses low-amount solvents acting as hydrogen sources to break down a specific class of plastics called condensation polymers.
A researcher at Texas A&M University has found a new way to turn plastic waste into green hydrogen using catalysts and sustainable chemicals.
Microplastics, plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, are littered worldwide, contributing to global warming, disrupting food chains, and harming ecosystems with toxic chemicals. Shetty’s research uses low-amount solvents acting as hydrogen sources to break down a specific class of plastics called condensation polymers, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, packaging, textiles, and 3D printing. Reseachers at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) have developed a procedure to make hydrogen gas from water using only solar power and agricultural waste, such as manure or husks.
