JGU Develops CO2-Neutral Method for Producing Formic Acid and Hydrogen from Glycerine
HYDROGEN
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed a CO2-neutral method for producing formic acid and hydrogen from glycerine, utilizing electricity. This innovative approach supports the electrification of the chemical industry, replacing traditional reliance on fossil fuels with sustainable energy sources.
The findings, led by Prof. Dr. Carsten Streb, were published in Advanced Energy Materials.
