Some of the goals are to cut greenhouse gas emissions and create economic opportunities in rural Wisconsin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wisconsin Energy Institute got $4 million from U.S. Department of Energy to turn a fibrous plant material called lignin into nylon. Nylon is in textiles, carpets and molded plastic. However, the project needs to make plant-based nylon for roughly the same cost as the petrochemical version but with only a fraction of the pollution.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If successful, the project will demonstrate the commercial viability of a lab-tested process that could be key to developing sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. This is according to Shannon Stahl, a UW-Madison professor of chemistry who is leading the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/mid-west-farm-report-madison\/team-looks-at-turning-plant-waste-into-plastic\/embed\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write\" width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Team Looks At Turning Plant Waste Into Plastic\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you&#8217;re really going to replace petroleum with bio-based feedstocks, everything from plants has to be turned into value,\u201d Stahl says. \u201cThe approach must be like petrochemicals, where everything from crude oil is turned into something of value.

It incorporates a plan to collaborate with communities disproportionately affected by pollution and economic hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Morgan Edwards will work with researchers to develop screening tools to guide the siting of biomass processing facilities. She says the goal is to ensure equitable distribution of both the benefits and burdens of energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Stahl says the sites could be located in communities in Wisconsin where paper mills have closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grant is one of five.
