In March, a team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and LanzaTech was awarded the 2023 American Chemical Society's (ACS) Award for Affordable Clean Chemistry at the ACS Spring meeting for development of a clean and sustainable alcohol-to-jet-fuel catalytic process, which holds promise for helping the nation achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a novel, low-temperature way to convert waste plastic into a gasoline-like fuel and raw materials
Grocery bags, used face masks, and food wraps potentially contain plenty of useful raw materials in them. But it has been much more economical to keep manufacturing more of these one-time-use plastics than to undertake recovery and recycling processes of those items.
