PETROCHEMICAL’ – WITHOUT USING FOSSIL FUELS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Ethylene, the world's most widely produced and used petrochemical, is used to make products lightweight, durable, or waterproof. Conventional ethylene production releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gasses. CERT Systems Inc. has developed a technology that removes fossil fuels from the process of producing ethylene. The technology works at ambient temperatures, uses renewable energy, and produces no harmful emissions. CERT's process could be used to make other carbon-based building block chemicals.
