BY MONICA DOBIE
RESEARCHERS from the University of Leeds, England, have developed a way to turn vegetable sludge into hydrogen-rich gas. The process mixes glycerol with steam at controlled temperatures, separating the waste product into hydrogen, water and carbon dioxide with no residues. A special absorbent material filters out the carbon dioxide, leaving in a purer gas.
