This research converts organic waste—empty fruit bunches, used cooking oil, and eggshells—into biofuel. Using eggshell-derived catalysts lowers energy requirements for pyrolysis, producing hydrocarbon-rich fuels. The approach addresses waste management while reducing reliance on fossil fuels, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative energy solution.
This research explores converting CO₂ into fuel by designing surfaces that promote carbon–carbon bonding. Using porous materials to concentrate CO₂, it increases reaction efficiency and enables formation of longer hydrocarbon chains. This approach could transform atmospheric carbon into usable fuels, offering a sustainable pathway for future energy production.
This research develops sustainable solid biofuels using organic waste instead of food crops. By recycling water and catalysts in a high-temperature process, it reduces energy consumption and improves fuel quality. The work addresses key challenges of feedstock and efficiency, advancing environmentally friendly alternatives for heating, power generation, and industry.
Chemical reactions are often slow and depend on catalysts. This research shows that simply applying electrical charge to a catalyst—without using energy—dramatically accelerates reactions, increasing rates tenfold for every 60 mV. A AA battery can reduce a universe-long reaction to one second, offering a powerful, sustainable route for chemical manufacturing.
