Researchers at Northwestern University have built a solid-state electrolyzer that converts carbon monoxide from plastic waste gas into ethylene, one of the most widely used chemical building blocks on ...

Md S Hossain is listed under a patent filed for plastic-infused asphalt. Globally, more than 400 million tons of plastic are produced each year, and less than 10% is recycled. Much of the rest ends up ...

Discussions about microplastics have penetrated the public discourse, and with them, we’ve seen a rise in (at times questionable or “greenwashed”) sustainable alternatives. Following a conversation ...

Abstract: Coal gasification process is characterized by a complex industrial system and high computational cost in simulation. Current gasification optimization studies generally focus on single-modal ...

Porsche AG and BASF SE, in collaboration with technology partner Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH (BEST), have completed a pilot project that demonstrates the recyclability of ...

Let’s face it: plastic trash is everywhere. We churn out around 380 million tons every year, yet barely 10% ever gets recycled. The rest? It’s either clogging landfills, floating into oceans or ...

NETL researchers are closing in on a more effective and less expensive way to combine a growing accumulation of plastic waste with coal and biomass for a steam gasification process that can produce H ...

The HyJoin process is used to attach this plastic cover to a metal housing. Screws or gaskets are not needed. August 16, 2025 Engineers have many options for joining plastic parts to plastic parts or ...

Abstract: Plasma-air gasification of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was studied experimentally and thermodynamically. An analysis of the gasification degree, specific energy consumption, and gas ...

Chris Corps hopes that evolving climate regulations in Canada will create an opportunity for his company to turn waste into profit via gasification technology. Corps, cofounder and CEO of Pivotal IRM, ...

Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) is a by‐product generated during coal gasification, comprising a heterogeneous mixture of inorganic ash and residual carbon. This material presents both a ...

Plastic’s toughest problem may have just met its smartest solution. A team of scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the ...
