Plastic to Hydrogen

The Science of Catalytic Steam Reforming for Plastic Waste

Turn the world’s greatest pollutant into the fuel of the future.

Strategic Objectives

• Master the chemistry of polymer-specific de-polymerization.

• Optimize steam reforming parameters for maximum hydrogen yield.

• Understand catalyst design to prevent carbon fouling and deactivation.

• Develop scalable engineering solutions for a circular hydrogen economy.

The Core Challenge

Traditional recycling fails to handle complex polymer blends, leaving massive amounts of plastic waste to saturate our environment.
