Northwestern University Develops Electrolyzer for Low-energy Ethylene Production from Waste Gas

ELECTROLYZERHYDROGEN

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed an electrolyzer that converts syngas, a waste gas from plastic, into ethylene with reduced energy consumption. This innovative device utilizes a novel material to catalyze the reaction and can be powered by renewable energy sources. The results, published in Nature Energy, aim to decarbonize the ethylene supply chain and create a circular system for chemical production without fossil fuels.
