Feeding pulp and paper into their process substantially lessens the energy that would otherwise be required, they say.<\/p>\n<p>Lin and research partner Amirhossein Farzi, also a McGill graduate student, are applying renewable electricity to convert the captured CO2, leaving behind a zero-carbon footprint. This process using green energy, which is in R&amp;D elsewhere as well, is called electrochemical conversion. It\u2019s one technology in the broader scheme of carbon capture and can produce a spectrum of chemical compounds\u2014methane, carbon monoxide, ethylene and ethanol to name a few. Farzi explains the paper and pulp application, which is what distinguishes the McGill project from other electrochemical conversion processes.<\/p>\n<p>Using pulp and paper as a reactant is what\u2019s improving the economics and efficiencies. Typically, the process relies on an oxygen reaction. The contamination from pulp and paper requires less energy for conversion compared to dissociating water into oxygen. The ultimate plan is to look into what other chemicals from the industry may serve as reactants to produce more green products while helping keep contaminants from paper and pulp making out of waterways and soil.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waste360.com\/paper\/paper-and-pulp-waste-takes-on-role-in-carbon-conversion-to-make-new-products\">Waste360<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-532\/\">Paper and Pulp Waste Takes on Role in Carbon Conversion to Make New Products<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,3001,12862,445],"class_list":["post-130948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-paper","tag-pulp","tag-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130948\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
