Plastics-to-Fuel
With the help of OSU Chemical Engineering professor, Skip Rochefort, and his students, Helen Liu is developing a small-scale machine to convert plastics back to fuel. The goal is to create de-centralized units that can travel to where the plastics are being collected and turn them into usable fuel to be used nearby.
Here are photos from the Plastics-to-Local-Fuel booth at the Asian Celebration in Eugene, Oregon,
Feb. 16-17, 2019.
