Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland, have developed a carbon-supported platinum nanoparticle catalyst that can achieve complete hydrocracking of polypropylene into liquid hydrocarbons (C 5 –C 45 ). With tuning, the catalyst can achieve a selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ).

They were able to convert amorphous polypropylene and everyday bags and bottles effectively to lubricants with yields up to 80+%. Quantification of critical properties, including pour point, kinematic viscosity, and viscosity index, indicates that the products are promising alternatives to currently used base or synthetic oils.

A Korean research team has developed a technology that can be used to mass-produce aviation-grade fuels from wood wastes. The pyrolysis of lignin produces an oil which has little industrial utility due to its high viscosity. Suggested continuous-flow HDO of lignin pyrolysis oil dissolved in its HCK oil. —Kim et al.

An EU-funded project, Biogas2PEM-FC , has developed a system to convert the toxic waste from olive oil production into electricity. The project, coordinated by Nordic fuel cell technology company PowerCell , resulted in the building of a complete pilot plant on an olive farm in Andalucía, Spain. Idener, Spain.
