From Plastic Waste to Clean Fuel: New Solar-Powered Recycling Method Breaks Boundaries

Professor Erwin Reisner and his team from the University of Cambridge have developed a process that can transform plastics and CO2 into two chemical products using the same method.  

What makes this process unique is that sunlight is the only source of power. The method works by integrating catalysts into a light absorber and operates at room temperature and room pressure.  

This new technology transforms CO2 and plastics into ‘syngas’, a key component of clean fuels such as hydrogen. Over 600 million metric tonnes are produced every year, mainly from oil and gas.
