Tulane University scientists have discovered a potentially greener way to produce a crucial industrial chemical.

The current production process requires chlorine, which is toxic and emits millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually .

Adding small amounts of nickel atoms to silver catalysts can maintain production efficiency while eliminating the need for chlorine in the process.

The discovery was six years in the making.
