Cool.
But let me be the first on this thread to say:
Sugar, it’s the new oil!
Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs...
The solution would be to place a ‘egg shell’ deposit, say 5 cents/egg shell. You could bring the egg shell back to the store and get your 5 cents back. There...problem solved and global warming avoided!
Seems to me I remember a scene in one of the”Back to the Future” movies where Christopher Lloyd starts putting garbage into the Delorean to “refuel” it. That’s the first thing that came to mind when I read this.
Hey, now there's an idea whose time had come
“According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the country produced nearly 91 billion eggs in 2006. That equates to about 455,000 tons of shell per year that could potentially be used in hydrogen production.”
Sorry, but unless our Fascist/Stalinist nanny-state advocates are going to pass laws that mandate separate days of the week and separate containers for everyone to “recycle” all eggshells, used commercially or individually, eggshells cannot ever “potentially be used in hydrogen production”. That claim is laughable. They will have to find another source of, or means to make, Calcium Carbonate - maybe it will even do a better job than eggshells.
The article is misnamed.
It should read “Scientists Look for Grant to Make Current Hydrogen Production Process More Expensive, We Want Some of the Global Warming Largess.”
I wondered if they’ve figured out that egg shells are more scarce than oil?
