Shetty\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Shetty and his team designed catalysts to harness the stored hydrogen after breaking these condensation polymers, as outlined in Shetty\u2019s recent paper published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The research shows how catalyst surfaces use hydrogen left over from these organic carriers to transform PET into p-xylene, a molecule that can be used for fuels or chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Shetty said his research offers a waste-management solution and is crucial for the chemical industry\u2019s sustainability. According to the paper, the research approach uses methanol to break down PET into smaller fragments and an H2 source to form p-xylene from PET, a potential chemical or fuel. Shetty believes that applying this research could change our economy from relying on fossil fuels. According to the team, by reducing the energy required to extract hydrogen from water by 600 percent, the technique opens up new possibilities for creating environmentally friendly, sustainable chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/interestingengineering.com\/energy\/green-hydrogen-from-plastic-waste\"> Interesting Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-623\/\">From trash to fuel: US scientist unlocks green hydrogen potential in plastic bottles<\/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":[575,7808,7634,574],"class_list":["post-135192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-green-hydrogen","tag-plastic-bottle","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135192","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=135192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
