“Competing systems from Alphakat (Buttenheim, Germany), Ozmotech (Victoria, Australia) and Plas2Fuel (Washington, US) exist, but they have limitations of emissions, selective plastic input as well as high capital cost due to low processing efficiency,” said James Vance, project manager at IC2 Institute at the University of Texas.
"Now that Plas2Fuel is reaching full capacity in Oregon, Bostwick stated that when all costs of manufacturing are accounted, the company produces synthetic crude from mixed plastics for $42 a barrel."
