Nuclear-driven production of renewable fuel additives from waste organics

A. G. Plant, B. Kos, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Arran George Plant and colleagues harnesses nuclear energy to transform waste glycerol from biodiesel production into valuable chemicals like solketal and acetol. With impressive radiation-chemical yields, this innovative approach could significantly boost production and help achieve net-zero emissions targets by utilizing existing European nuclear facilities.
