Scientists have developed a process using discarded car battery acid and solar reactors to break down PET bottles and polyurethane foam into clean hydrogen. This chemical process transforms plastic waste and toxic acid into high-value organic chemicals for industries, providing a functional way to recycle complex materials while generating carbon-free fuel.

Batteriesäure und Plastikmüll werden zu sauberem Wasserstoff

TECH XPLORE

Wissenschaftler haben mit Solarreaktoren und der Säure aus verbrauchten Batterien PET-Flaschen und Schaumstoffe in sauberen Wasserstoff gespalten. Dieser innovative Prozess wandelt komplexe, hochgiftige und schwer recycelbare Materialien in wertvolle Industriechemikalien und kohlenstofffreie Brennstoffe um – mit Sonnenenergie.

Two new studies suggest offshore wind farms can expand without putting migratory birds at major risk. Over 18 months, researchers tracked more than four million bird movements using radar and AI cameras and found that more than 99.8% reliably avoided turbine blades, showing clean energy and wildlife protection can work together.
