U.S. Laboratory Finds Plastics-to-Fuel Technology Helps Reduce GHG Emissions
PTF facilities use pyrolysis, a process that converts post-use non-recycled plastics into liquid fuels and chemical feedstocks by heating them in the absence of oxygen.
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), part of the U.S. Department of Energy, has determined that using pyrolysis to convert non-recycled plastics into ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel results in energy and environmental benefits. These include reductions of up to 14 percent in greenhouse gas emissions, up to 58 percent in water consumption, and up to 96 percent in traditional energy use when compared to ULSD from conventional crude oil.
The peer-reviewed analysis “Life-Cycle Analysis of Fuels from Post-use Non-recycled Plastics,” was published in the April 14, 2017, edition of the journal Fuel ANL based the analysis on its highly regarded Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model, using data provided by five companies. The GREET database contains more than 100 different fuel pathways, has more than 30,000 subscribers, and is used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in implementing the Renewable Fuel Standard Program enacted by Congress.
“Argonne’s analysis clearly determines that plastics-to-fuel (PTF) technology is a viable and beneficial materials management option,” Craig Cookson, director of recycling and energy recovery for the American Chemistry Council said in a statement. “Not only does PTF reduce waste going to landfills, but these technologies can help reduce GHG emissions while conserving both water and energy.”
PTF facilities use pyrolysis, a process that converts post-use non-recycled plastics into liquid fuels and chemical feedstocks by heating them in the absence of oxygen. ANL assessed the potential energy and environmental benefits of converting non-recycled plastics into diesel using pyrolysis.
“The GREET model is the globally recognized benchmark for sustainability professionals, energy companies, and federal and state government agencies for making informed, scientifically based decisions about material use and post-use pathways for fuels,” Rick Wagner, global sustainability manager at Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., said in a statement.

Some areas of the country seem to think its worth the time to change some regulations....
WASHINGTON (May 5, 2017) – The Florida House and Senate this week passed Resource Recovery and Management (HB335). The American Chemistry Council’s Plastics Division welcomed the legislation and issued the following statement, which may be attributed to Craig Cookson, senior director of recycling and energy recovery:
“The American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Plastics Division welcomes the unanimous passage of HB 335—first-of-its-kind legislation that will make Florida a welcoming environment for innovative businesses that convert post-use non-recycled plastics into fuels, chemicals and chemical intermediates.
We’re thrilled to see legislation that attracts new innovative businesses and supports the creation of new jobs by treating post-use plastics as the energy-rich resources they are by classifying them as equivalent to “recovered materials” and not as “waste.” In addition, HB335 ensures manufacturing facilities that convert these post-use plastics into liquid fuels, chemicals, waxes and lubricants are not wrongly classified as solid waste management facilities. It also facilitates recognition that the conversion of post-use plastics into these valuable products will count as “recycling” and contribute to meeting Florida’s 75% recycling goal.
Traditional recycling of plastics continues to increase in Florida and around the nation. However, there are economic barriers to recycling 100 percent of any material. New technologies, such as pyrolysis and gasification, are enabling manufacturers to recover more of the energy embodied in plastics.
Florida recycles nearly 7.4 million tons of municipal solid waste annually. Converting Florida’s non-recycled plastics into energy could provide enough fuel to power more than 500,000 cars every year. We applaud Representative Clemons and Senator Perry for sponsoring this much needed legislation and urge Governor Scott to sign it.

This year’s event will also feature a keynote presentation on a new report on Plastic--to--Fuel.
“ACC is excited to be announcing a report completed with Ocean Recovery Alliance to help unlock the potential for plastic--to--fuel technologies to deliver economic and environmental benefits to communities around the world,” said Steve Russell, Vice President of Plastics for the American Chemistry Council. “We look forward to debuting a new report at Plasticity Forum which documents how these technologies are turning used plastic into value, as well as a publically available financial modeling tool that will help communities find the right technology to meet their needs.”
Plastic to Fuel Report - ACC and Ocean Recovery Alliance
Plastic to Fuel Report - Global Update on the Emerging Industry
The report commissioned by the American Chemistry Council, and undertaken by Ocean Recovery Alliance, is intended as a discussion tool for a variety of local and international stakeholders including: municipal and national governments, corporations, community leaders, business associations, NGOs, project developers, and others interested in the management of end-of-life[1] plastic waste. It aims to highlight the opportunities available for creating value from plastics, in concert with the regulatory, technical and logistical barriers that need to be overcome on the path towards the widespread commercial adoption of plastics-to-fuel (PTF) technology. The report can aid stakeholders by facilitating knowledge-sharing and regulatory convergence to expedite project deployment. Not intended as a replacement to traditional recycling practices, but given the large percentage of plastic waste that bypass recycling programs for reasons such as lack of infrastructure, capacity, and technology, PTF is becoming a viable addition to a jurisdictions mix of municipal solid waste management (MSW) management strategies.

U.S. Plastic-to-fuel Market: Converting Garbage into Fuel is a Lucrative Business
Published On : 2015-05-20
Conversion of plastic to fuel presents an exciting opportunity to develop an alternate source of fuel. Every year, large volume of plastic is sent to landfills for disposal, however, with the help of effective conversion technologies, plastic can be converted into fuel. Currently, the available methods for plastic-to-fuel conversion include pyrolysis, depolymerisation, incineration, hydrolysis, anaerobic digestion, and gasification.
Governments around the world are trying their level best to reduce their dependence on crude oil. High oil prices in the recent past, and uncertain geopolitical conditions in the Middle East have prompted governments to look at other alternatives. Plastic-to-fuel technology offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly opportunity of creating a reliable source of energy.
In spite of various regulations, plastics are used widely all around the world. According to estimates, on an average, the production of plastics has grown by 10% every year since 1950s. The amount of plastic waste generated each year poses challenges for its disposal, as only a small percentage of the total plastic waste can be recycled. The availability of such a large volume of plastics offers a feasible option to manufacturers to convert it into fuel.
Plastic-to-fuel Market at a Nascent Stage
Although plastic-to-fuel technology has been termed as the technology of the future, there are certain restraints to its implementation. For example, conversion of plastic-to-fuel through pyrolysis is not considered recycling in the US, and due to this, companies are not able to claim any recycling grants. However, plastic-to-fuel conversion through pyrolysis is still entitled for tax credits and grant for sites.
Complexity involved in setting up a processing plant is another restraint for growth of the plastic-to-fuel technology. Starting a processing facility requires high initial capital, and due to this many vendors are locked out of this market. It is expected that government support and technological innovation will help tide over these problems in the future.
In the United States alone, some 100 billion plastic shopping bags are used each year, and according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only around 13% of this is recycled. High production and use of plastic bags in the U.S. presents a strategic opportunity to companies to get feedstock at little or no cost.
U.S. Plastic-to-fuel Market Anticipated to Expand at a CAGR of 6.79% through 2020
Future Market Insights’ analysis revealed that plastic-to-fuel market in the U.S. was valued at US$ 42.78 million in 2015. Although at a nascent stage, the market is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 6.79% through 2020 to reach a valuation of US$ 98.26 million by 2020. Most of the companies involved in the plastic-to-fuel conversion business make profits through the following three methods.
Sale of processors
Sale of fuel produced
Revenue generated through royalties
According to FMI’s analysis on the U.S. plastic-to-fuel market, the revenue generated through sale of processors was the most dominant segment in the U.S. currently. Around 70% of the revenue generated in the U.S. plastic-to-fuel market was through the sale of processors. It is anticipated that this revenue model will continue to be the most lucrative for companies in the near future as well. However, technological innovation and increase in propriety equipment ownership will translate into higher revenues through royalties. This revenue model is projected to witness a CAGR of 7.8% through 2020, in spite of having a miniscule share in the U.S. plastic-to-fuel market.
Leading plastic-to-fuel companies in the U.S. include Plastic2Oil, Agilyx Corporation Vadaxx Energy, and RES Polyflow. Most of these key players in the plastic-to-fuel market rely on pyrolysis technology to convert plastic waste into fuel. These players have made modifications to their waste processing technology and rolled out patents for the same. Pre-processing of waste material, which increases the operational costs, is an area where most of these companies are focussing on currently.
