2019 Commercial Conversion Polymer 
Green Car Congress
SEPTEMBER 11, 2019
Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a promising new conversion-type cathode and electrolyte system that replaces expensive metals and traditional liquid electrolyte with lower cost transition metal fluorides and a solid polymer electrolyte. A paper on their work is published in the journal Nature Materials.

Since joining the Rice faculty in 2019, Wang has developed a catalytic reactor that uses carbon dioxide as its feedstock. The NSF grant will address challenges that remain before the renewable strategy can be applied practically on a commercial scale. To address these challenges, our project is interdisciplinary. —Haotian Wang.

Plant cell walls resist chemical or biological degradation, making the breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass into renewable chemical precursors for conversion into chemicals and transportation fuels challenging and costly.

Additionally, many chemicals relied upon for transportation (such as oils and lubricants) as well as other commodity chemicals and polymer precursors are, and will likely remain, carbon-based. By 2040, enable large-scale biomass production and conversion that allows biofuels to constitute 25% of the US transportation fuel market.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $25 million in funding to reduce the cost of algal biofuels to less than $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019. Additionally, algae can be used to make a range of other valuable bioproducts, such as industrial chemicals, bio-based polymers, and proteins. Earlier post.).

The agreement calls for the construction of a demonstration plant in Denmark, with operation slated to begin in 2019. After the Green Polyethylene, this is another major step forward in our vision of using renewable polymers as a carbon capture tool and keep contributing to a more sustainable future.
