South Korean researchers producing fuel from surgical masks via pyrolysis

South Korean researchers producing fuel from surgical masks via pyrolysis

March 8, 2022 |

In South Korea, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of single-use face masks are discarded every day, creating a huge surge in plastic pollution. In a recent study, a team of researchers led by Korea University investigated the feasibility and potential environmental benefits of converting discarded surgical masks into burnable fuel via a process called […]

EPFL researchers develop new biomass photo-pyrolysis process

EPFL researchers develop new biomass photo-pyrolysis process

February 17, 2022 |

In Switzerland, a main candidate is hydrogen produced from organic waste, or “biomass”, of plants and animals. Biomass also absorbs, removes, and stores CO2 from the atmosphere, while biomass decomposition can also bring us ways to negative emissions or greenhouse gases removal. But even though biomass heralds a way forward, there is still the question […]

Shell announces pyrolysis oil upgrader in Singapore and hints at CCS

Shell announces pyrolysis oil upgrader in Singapore and hints at CCS

November 23, 2021 |

In Singapore, Shell will build a new pyrolysis oil upgrader unit that improves the quality of pyrolysis oil, a liquid made from hard-to-recycle plastic waste that would have gone into a landfill, and turns it into chemical feedstock for its plant. Slated to start production in 2023, the unit at Shell’s manufacturing site on Pulau […]
