Waste bread used to replace fossil fuel hydrogen in carbon-negative chemical manufacturing breakthrough
Why It Matters for ITAD
New technologies may create opportunities or challenges for equipment processing. Growing ESG focus creates opportunities for ITAD companies with strong sustainability credentials.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have demonstrated a microbial process that uses waste bread to generate hydrogen for industrial hydrogenation, potentially reducing reliance on fossil fuels across food, pharmaceutical and materials production. The humble breadcrumb could help reduce fossil fuel use in one of the chemical industry’s most widely deployed reactions, according to […] The post Waste bread used to replace fossil fuel hydrogen in carbon-negative chemical manufacturing
