- University of Cambridge, UK have developed a system that can transform plastic waste and greenhouse gases into sustainable fuels and other valuable products.
- This is using energy from the sun.
- This integrated reactor has two separate compartments.
- One is for plastic and another one is for greenhouse gases.
- The reactor uses a light absorber based on perovskite.
- Perovskite is a promising alternative to silicon for next-generation solar cells.
- This reactor converts polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles and CO2 into different carbon-based fuels such as CO, syngas or formate, in addition to glycolic acid.
