Using discarded
electronic boards, the University of the Basque Country's (UPV/EHU) researcher
Andoni Salbidegoitia has, in collaboration with international researchers,
developed a system for obtaining clean hydrogen that can be used as fuel. The
researchers have already registered the patent of the process in Japan. The
Chemical Technologies for Environmental Sustainability (TQSA) Group of the
Department of Chemical Engineering of the UPV/EHU's Faculty of Science and Technology
is aiming to make use of discarded plastic as effectively as possible from the
environmental as well as energy and economic point of view.
