South Korean researchers have developed a new method for producing hydrogen from sugarcane, a fuel hailed as the next-generation energy.
This new technology harnesses the power of the sun and an unlikely source – sugarcane waste.
The research outlines a new photoelectrochemical system using furfural, a valuable chemical from sugarcane waste.
“This innovative method utilizes biomass derived from sugarcane waste and silicon photoelectrodes to generate H2 exclusively using sunlight, achieving a production rate four times higher than the commercialization benchmark set by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE),” the press statement from Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology revealed.
