Description

Solar-catalytic glycerol upcycling with co-manufacturing green hydrogen . Sustainable and economically viable bio-refining necessitates an efficient method for utilizing the surplus glycerol generated as a by-product in biodiesel industries. This project aims to construct the solar-driven nanocatalysts and develop new flow reactor to convert glycerol into high-value-added chemicals and green hydrogen fuel simultaneously. The endeavor promises a substantial contribution to advancing the science and technology of achieving 100% atom efficiency in bio-refining, opening avenues for exploring novel chemical and energy sources. Ultimately, this initiative holds the potential to bring about significant economic and social benefits by establishing a competitive business in the chemical and fuel industries of Australia..
