11 Jan 2023 --- Researchers from the University of Cambridge, UK, have developed a system that can transform plastic waste and greenhouse gasses (GHG) into environmentally sustainable fuels and other valuable products using solar energy, as reported in Nature Synthesis. The researchers harnessed solar power through a reactor. Tests of the reactor under average temperature and pressure conditions showed that it could efficiently convert PET plastic bottles and CO2 into different carbon-based fuels. The machine also produced these products at a rate that is higher than conventional photocatalytic CO2 reduction processes.
