Chinese scientists turn food waste into eco-friendly methanol fuel
In Russia, TV Brics reported that scientists at East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai have developed an innovative method for converting food waste into green fuel for ships.
The report noted that this technology not only opens up new prospects for the processing of organic waste, but also significantly reduces fuel production costs – by more than 30%. The method is based on converting carbon dioxide in biogas into environmentally friendly methanol, according to the report.
Researchers noted this advanced pilot system, based on patented technologies, serves as an important link between laboratory research and industrial application. These technologies include a combination of biogas reforming and electric drive, environmentally friendly methanol synthesis, heat pump distillation and an optimized thermal integration system, according to the report.
