ETH Zurich catalyst can convert polypropylene directly into motor oil with high selectivity

Green Car Congress

The work provides some guidelines for catalyst design in the field of plastic hydrocracking. The chain length at which products desorb can be tuned by changing the surface oxygen concentration on the carrier. Following this strategy, the selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ) can be achieved. Shibashish D. Jaydev, Antonio J.

Los Alamos and Oberon Fuels receive DOE funding to produce renewable hydrogen from renewable DME (rDME)

Green Car Congress

This project will produce the final step—technology that can convert rDME into rH2 fuel at the point of use. We are producing a hydrogen-rich molecule, moving it using existing, low-cost infrastructure, and converting it to hydrogen fuel on demand. Our novel approach to generating hydrogen flips the current model on its head.

AQLI: new data reveals little progress globally in reducing air pollution over the last two decades

Green Car Congress

New data from the Air Quality Life Index (AQLI), which converts particulate air pollution into its impact on life expectancy, shows that particulate pollution was the greatest risk to human health before COVID-19. As a result, 89% of Southeast Asia’s 650 million people live in areas where particulate pollution exceeds the WHO guideline.
