University of Sydney researchers create chemical process that turns landfill gas into jet fuel
Researchers at the University of Sydney have devised a chemical process that uses plasma to convert methane gas from landfills into sustainable jet fuel. This innovation reduces greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane which is more potent than carbon dioxide. The process could potentially transform all landfills into energy sources. The process efficiently converts the gas into valuable fuel without requiring high temperatures or pressure, thus minimizing energy consumption. The initiative aims to address the aviation industry’s carbon footprint, which accounts for a significant portion of global emissions. Read more about making jet fuel from landfill gas.
