What if a machine could suck up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, run it through a series of chemical reactions, and essentially spit out industrially useful plastic?

Caltech scientists convert CO2 into tough industrial plastics using a dual-loop system powered by renewable electricity.

This produces ethylene, which is then processed into various forms of resins and ultimately converted into plastic products. So what’s wrong with ethane plants? The problems are multi-faceted.

Antifreeze is made of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and is the basic ingredient, but it has to be mixed with water to create coolant, which is the cocktail you will find in the cooling ...

Engineers have built a machine that captures carbon from flue gas and converts it to ethylene. The device integrates a carbon capture system with an ethylene conversation system for the first time.

A team of researchers led by Meenesh Singh at University of Illinois Chicago has discovered a way to convert 100% of carbon dioxide captured from industrial exhaust into ethylene, a key building ...
