Yale Scientists Crack the Code on Turning Plastic Waste Into Fuel

Yale scientists have developed a catalyst-free, energy-efficient pyrolysis reactor that converts plastic waste into usable fuel with unprecedented efficiency.

New device converts plastic waste into fuel using catalyst-free pyrolysis

As tons of plastic waste continue to build up in landfills every day, Yale researchers have developed a way to convert this waste into fuels and other valuable products efficiently and cheaply. The results are published in Nature Chemical Engineering.

Nickel catalyst opens door to sustainable, branched hydrocarbon fuels

A research team led by Associate Professor Boon Siang Yeo from the Department of Chemistry at National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a new way to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into valuable liquid hydrocarbons, which are the main components of fuels like gasoline and jet fuel.
