Scientists turn CO2 from forestry into plastic raw materials using new method
SMRTR summary
A new method converts carbon dioxide from forest industry waste incineration into polypropylene and polyethylene, common plastic raw materials. The "Forest CUMP" project found that using captured CO2 and green hydrogen could reduce reliance on fossil feedstocks, potentially replacing 10 million tons of CO2 with renewable products using 60 TWh of renewable electricity.
