2020 - Development of electric reactors which can match or exceed reactors using non-renewable energy sources
Chemical Engineering
About This Innovation
* Blanco Jeminez and her company Sunthetics works to replace electricity from non-renewable sources (gas and oil) with renewable sources like water, plant waste, and solar energy * The company manufactures the equipment needed to replace thermal energy with electrochemical reactions * The efficiency of Blanco's electric reactors can match or exceed those using other energy sources while maintaining a sustainable approach.
