The findings hold new promise for the future of hydrogen, which has been touted as an important alternative to fossil fuels, though its traditional production methods are considered carbon heavy or too expensive. For example, most of the nearly 100 million tons of hydrogen used globally in 2022 was derived from fossil fuels and produced roughly 12 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of hydrogen.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers exposed plastic waste samples to rapid flash Joule heating for about four seconds, bringing their temperature up to 3100 degrees Kelvin, which vaporizes the hydrogen present in plastics and leaves behind graphene, an extremely light, durable material made up of a single layer of carbon atoms. The research team published their findings in Advanced Materials. Clean hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy sources to split water into its two component elements, currently costs roughly $5 for just more than two pounds.<\/p>\n<p>The study also comes as the United States is heavily investing in hydrogen production, pouring $7 billion into hydrogen hubs around the country. The funding from the Department of Energy aims to initiate hydrogen production, storage, and delivery hubs and will specifically support seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs that are expected to collectively meet about a third of U.S. 2030 clean energy production targets. Other countries are also viewing hydrogen as a big opportunity for energy production. Germany and the U.K. recently penned an agreement to accelerate the hydrogen global market and prioritize production in their own energy policies.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2023\/10\/researchers-harvest-hydrogen-from-plastic-waste\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-420\/\">Researchers Harvest Hydrogen from Plastic Waste<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,623,761],"class_list":["post-117759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-hydrogen","tag-plastic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117759\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
