JGU Develops Method to Produce Formiate and Hydrogen from Glycerol Waste
HYDROGEN
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed a sustainable method to produce formiate and hydrogen from glycerol waste using hybrid electrolysis. The innovative process replaces oxygen production with formiate and employs a new catalyst made from copper and palladium, with plans to explore the use of more abundant metals. This research is part of the SusInnoScience initiative, which aims to advance sustainable chemical production methods.
