To speed up the ripening process you need ethylene, nature's natural ripening hormone.

Through upgraded equipment and optimized scheduling, DuPont has reduced annual emissions of CO2 by 34 million pounds, saved 7.5 million pounds of ethylene - finished product, and conserved 16 million pounds of non-renewable natural resources.

Quarantine (import): An importer is required to either treat (eg methyl bromide or ethylene oxide), re-export or destroy an imported commercial consignment of goods made from natural forest materials, such as bamboo, which has not been treated off - shore and / or is not accompanied by an acceptable treatment certificate.

The study — conducted by what was then the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, the EPA and more than 40 other public, private and academic institutions — singled out as culprits VOCs such as ethylene, a flammable gas used mainly in the production of plastics.

The process converts roughly 50 percent of the natural gas to acetylene — the other half is burned for the heat that drives the process, which still releases CO2 into the atmosphere — and nearly all of that acetylene to ethylene, and then ethylene to fuel.

This new work, described in a study published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, is the first to successfully demonstrate the approach of going from carbon dioxide directly to target products, namely ethanol and ethylene, at energy conversion efficiencies rivaling natural counterparts.

Natural gas liquids (NGLs) ethane and propane get extracted and sent to a «cracking facility» where ethane is made into ethylene (the foundation of polyethylene - the most common plastic in the world, frequently used for packaging, bottles, and synthetic clothing), and at a dehydrogenation plant, propane is made into propylene (the foundation of polypropylene - a plastic commonly found in food packaging and vehicle manufacturing).

It is made by combining ethylene (made from natural gas or petroleum) and benzene (made from petroleum) to produce ethylbenzene, which is then dehydrogenated to form styrene in a process that produces byproducts benzene and toluene.
