Spain, Zaragoza (URBASER)
More efficient and controllable pyrolisis powered by renewables
LOCATIONS:
Zaragoza & Urbaser premises for pyrolysis technology
WASTE VALORISED:
Plastic fraction of MSW, particularly mixes of PP, PE and PS
TECHNOLOGIES ADDRESSED:
Microwaves-assisted pyrolysis will be tested. This technology provides a more efficient and controllable process compared to conventional pyrolysis, with the additional advantage of being powered by RES (e.g. PV) due to the electrification of the process.
Expected outcomes
-
1
To enable the recycling of plastic waste, which is currently landfilled due to technical and economic barriers.
-
2
To electrify and optimize the energy consumption of the process to achieve a full renewable approach.
-
3
To validate new approaches for plastics recycling able to reduce energy needs, increase the overall performance of the process and make it fully circular.
