Microplastics pose a significant threat to the environment, prompting Dr. Manish Shetty of Texas A&M University to investigate innovative ways to tackle plastic waste. By utilizing low-amount solvents as hydrogen sources, Shetty's research focuses on breaking down condensation polymers, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), commonly found in bottles and packaging, into aromatic compounds suitable for fuel production. The study employs catalysts to utilize stored hydrogen derived from organic carriers for waste management, offering a promising solution for sustainability and better waste management practices. Shetty's work aims to shift towards green hydrogen production, potentially reducing dependence on fossil fuels and advancing towards a more eco-friendly economy. Additionally, global efforts by Hyundai and the University of Illinois Chicago highlight the growing interest in transforming waste materials into green hydrogen, showcasing a collective commitment towards a sustainable energy future.
