Energy Generation

Using Moldflow analysis, researchers seek to optimize a rubber component in single-screw pumps, increasing the efficiency of oil production equipment.

Plastics emit 3% of global CO₂. Aligning the value chain—via recycling, clean tech, and circularity—can cut emissions up to 90% by 2050.

Petroleum is the primary feedstock for plastic production, so fluctuations in oil prices significantly impact manufacturing and supply chain costs.

When two surfaces rub, static electricity builds as electrons move from one material to another during the contact and separation.

Breakthrough tech turns waste plastics into carbon materials for energy storage, powering supercapacitors, batteries, and hydrogen production.

Researchers are assessing a novel resin for plugging unused oil wells as an alternative to cement.

EVA is a copolymer that combines the flexibility of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics.

Solar thermal energy offers a viable way to cut emissions and energy costs in industry if it can affordably meet roto molding’s high heat demands.

Plastic solar cells have struggled for years, but perovskite and plastic films could change that. This breakthrough may speed up commercialization..

Innovative technologies are optimizing the waste-to-energy process: saving plastic waste from landfills and turning it into valuable resources.
