How does it work

Previously, scientists had to supply concentrated and purified gas, but now the installation can work with any emissions into the atmosphere. To do this, they are passed through an alkaline filter that allows the CO to be separated.₂ from other gases.

• In the reactor, the process of removing electrons from the plastic and transferring them to CO takes place.₂converts it into syngas, a simple and easy-to-use fuel.
• Plastic breaks down to form glycolic acid, a sought-after raw material for the cosmetic industry.
• The energy required to perform all chemical processes is derived from sunlight with the help of the newest perovskite element.

There is no data on the quantitative performance of the installation, so far only a demonstration of the technology.

In the future, it It will help close the carbon use cycle in industry as emissions from spent fuel themselves become a source of carbon for the creation of new fuel. Along the way, the task of reducing the volume of plastic waste on the planet has been partially solved, and the consumption of natural materials has been reduced due to the increase in the scale of waste processing.

We’re not talking about scaling and full operation yet, so it’s not yet possible to say when we’ll be able to implement the new technology.
