Innovative plasma based transformation of food waste into high value graphitic carbon and renewable hydrogen

PlasCarb transforms biogas generated by anaerobic digestion of food waste using an innovative low energy microwave plasma process to split biogas (methane) into high value Renewable PlasCarbon (RPC) and renewable hydrogen (RH2). As part of the project the quality and economic value of RPC and RH2 has been optimised using high quality research and industrial process engineering. Life cycle analysis has been encompassing the entire project to  ensure that the approach is sustainable and taken beyond BAT.

PlasCarb is a collaborative action funded by the European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) "Environment" Theme.
