    The resulting ethylene will be used to make polyethylene (PE), the world's most widely used plastic and one of Brazil's main products


    .


    The university's research team will rely on its experience in electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, which will be combined with a patent-pending technology to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas


    .


    The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that the global chemical industry will emit more than 1.
    5 billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2020
