NUMBERS
The plastic to fuel solution favors the transition towards a model that is both environmentally sustainable and economically advantageous.
How it works*
Step 1.
Renewable electricity, purchased from electric grid, and non-recyclable plastics are injected into the system.
Step 2.
A thermal conversion process in absence of oxygen (no combustion, no CO2 emissions) is performed.
Step 3.
3 outputs are obtained:
– Liquid low-carbon fuels (product A benzine-like, product B diesel-like);
– Syngas: covering the process energy need when no renewable energy is available from the electric grid;
– Char: used in agriculture, construction, cement plant.
PLASTIC WASTE TARGET
The feedstock is non-recyclable plastics, normally destined to landfill or incineration (with known CO2 emissions issues).
Waste plastic materials used in the process are:
High Density Polyethylene (e.g. shopping bag, detergent bottles)
Low Density Polyethylene (e.g. food packaging)
Polypropylene (e.g. microwave dishes, food containers)
Polystyrene (e.g. plastic cutlery, hot drink cups, take-away clamshells)
3D standard line layout
Pilot/pre-industrial plant
Industrial plant
Stakeholders
Plastic recovery facilities
Plastic recovery companies now face the challenge of huge amount of non-recyclable plastics available and they are in need of a both economically interesting and environmentally sustainable destination for it.
Investors and partners
The green economy is growing and it is one of the most active and vibrating industries. Investments in this field have grown in the last few years, and they are expected to increase even more in the near future. According to German-based Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, the global market volume for “environmental technologies” will reach a projected $2,740 billions by 2020.
Local communities and institutions
To ensure communities’ health, safety and wellness, local institutions need to comply with stringent environmental policies.
Oil off-takers
We enable the transition from traditional fuel business towards green alternatives, offering a locally supplied substitute to fossil ressources.
