Funded Activity Summary

Production of diesel from the catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastics. Large amounts of waste plastics go to landfill daily. Landfill simply buries our wastes for future generations and can contribute to the contamination of ground water. This project aims to develop an advanced pyrolysis technology to produce transport diesel from waste plastics. This technology is an economically attractive and environmentally friendly way for the disposal of waste plastics without any environmental problems associated with the landfill or direct incineration of waste plastics. As this technology is based on advances in Australian research and development, exporting this to other countries will further enhance its economic and social benefits to Australia.
