Mobile reactor turns ocean plastic waste into invaluable diesel fuel

On April 3, 2017, Swaminathan Ramesh, Ph.D., presented his project to the attendees of the 253rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in San Francisco. In partnership with sailboat captain James E. Holm, the organic chemist developed a mobile reactor that transformed ocean plastics into diesel fuel. “Using our efficient Plastic to Fuel (PTF) conversion units, we are hoping to address the problems of plastics pollution on land and the ocean,” Ramesh said in an email.
