JGU Develops Method to Produce Formiate and Hydrogen from Glycerol Waste
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed a sustainable method to produce formiate and hydrogen from glycerol waste using hybrid electrolysis. The innovative process replaces oxygen production with formiate and employs a new catalyst made from copper and palladium, with plans to explore the use of more abundant metals. This research is part of the SusInnoScience initiative, which aims to advance sustainable chemical production methods.

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) developed a method to produce formiate and hydrogen from glycerol waste. The process, powered by sustainable electricity, uses hybrid electrolysis, replacing oxygen production with formiate.
A new catalyst combining copper and palladium was created, and the team plans to explore replacing palladium with abundant metals. The research is part of the SusInnoScience initiative, funded by the Rhineland-Palatinate research initiative, aiming for sustainable chemical production methods.
