Plastic to Diesel

Introduction.

Concerns surrounding the world’s current dependence on fossil fuels and their negative environmental impacts have instigated research into alternative, renewable and sustainable energy sources. With exponential population and economic growth there is a concomitant increase in plastic usage. With space becoming a premium commodity and environmental protection a necessity, landfilling of the majority of the world’s waste is no longer feasible. Thus, research is being carried out into waste-to-energy processes and refuse derived fuels. Of these processes, pyrolysis is increasingly being used to turn waste plastic into diesel. This article will explore how pyrolysis works and if it can live up to the expectations.
