What is Plastic-to-Fuel Technology?
About: Plastic-to-fuel technology uses thermochemical processes to convert plastic waste into liquid hydrocarbons, combustible gases and other useful products.
3 Methods involved in Plastic-to-Fuel Technology
- Pyrolysis: Heats plastic in the absence or near-absence of oxygen to produce oil, gases and solid residues.
- Catalytic Conversion: Uses catalysts to break down plastic polymers and improve the quality of the resulting products.
- Gasification: Converts plastic waste at high temperatures (800-1,200°C) into synthesis gas, primarily comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
How Can Plastic-to-Fuel Technology help solve India Waste Crisis?
- Waste Reduction: Diverts certain non-recyclable plastics from landfills.
- Energy Recovery: Produces fuels and gases for potential industrial applications.
- Economic Opportunities: Supports employment and businesses in waste collection, segregation and processing.
