Cambridge researchers develop solar reactor that converts plastic waste into clean hydrogen
By
Anthropocene Team
Summary
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered reactor that uses sunlight to break down plastic waste and produce clean hydrogen fuel. The device, made with simple materials using a paint sprayer, offers a potential dual solution to the twin crises of plastic pollution and dirty hydrogen production (over 95% of which currently comes from fossil fuels). This addresses the growing global demand for hydrogen as a clean-burning fuel for trucks, ships, and airplanes.
