How Shrimp Shells Are Being Turned Into ‘Carbon Negative’ Fuel, Food and Construction Materials
Scientists in Singapore have developed a process to convert shrimp shells and other organic waste into hydrogen fuel, protein for aquaculture feed, and calcium carbonate for construction. The technology, developed at Nanyang Technological University, aims to be carbon-negative by removing more CO2 than it produces, offering a dual solution for waste reduction and cleaner energy.
