Toward sustainable hydrogen and carbon economies through plasma-based recycling

Abstract

The transition to sustainable hydrogen and carbon economies is essential for addressing critical global issues such as climate change, resource depletion, and waste management. A vital strategy for low-carbon sustainability in the energy and chemical sectors is the chemical conversion of greenhouse gas into fuels and platform chemicals. Effective waste management, including waste-to-energy conversion and recycling, plays a crucial role in reducing emissions and promoting a circular economy. A key aspect of this transition is the development of innovative technologies that can transform waste into valuable resources while minimizing environmental impacts. Plasma-based recycling presents a promising solution, offering remarkable versatility for applications like waste upcycling and greenhouse gas conversion. These processes play a crucial role in advancing the development of sustainable carbon and hydrogen economies.
