An international team with participation of the ITQ, has developed an electrolysis system that allows to obtain hydrogen under pressure more efficiently

The results can be applied to both the transport sector and the production of chemicals The finding facilitates the use and control of renewable electricity through the efficient storage of energy in the form of hydrogen. The production of hydrogen from the electrolysis of water allows the storage of energy on a large scale from renewable energy sources.

ITQ: The right answer for cost and Energy-Efficient Plastic Recycling

Valencia, 14 March 2019 – Approximately 70% of European plastic waste (18.5 Mt/year) is not being recycled due to technical or economic reasons and is thus sent to landfill (27%) or incinerated (42%). This situation affects negatively the environment in terms of pollution and greenhouse gases emissions, as well as social perception regarding waste management, consumer’s products industry and policy makers.
