Thank you for sharing! Awesome to see this progress. I realize ethylene itself isn't a fuel, but it is such a great building block chemical - I can imagine easily using well established chemistry to turn it into fuel, or just substituting the solar produced ethylene in everywhere ethylene is currently used. Very exciting!
Totally! And it's hard to get excited about making more plastic but even if we just used this solar-produced ethylene to make it instead of petroleum that feels like a win considering how little is still made from recycled plastic, sadly.
So glad you rediscovered your 8-year-old drawing and shared this wonderful journey with us.
Thank you Lauren! It makes me so happy that you're reading these.
