- The project processes up to 300 tonnes of shredded tyres daily.
- Commercial production is targeted to start in 2025.
- The plant will be located at Thames Enterprise Park near London.
- Technologies used include pyrolysis, hydrotreating, and HydroFlex™.
Project Overview
Greenergy is investing in an advanced biofuels project that will convert waste tyres into low carbon fuels. The project employs a combination of pyrolysis and hydrotreating technologies to produce renewable drop-in fuels suitable for diesel and petrol, as well as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Technological Approach
The project will process up to 300 tonnes of shredded tyres daily in its first phase. The manufacturing process not only generates advanced biofuels but also produces recovered carbon black, which can be reused in the circular economy to manufacture new tyres and other industrial rubber products.
Location and Timeline
The plant is planned to be located at Thames Enterprise Park, a joint venture near London, pending planning approval. The project is currently at the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) stage, with commercial production expected to commence in 2025.
Partnerships and Technologies
The conceptual design for the project was developed by Green Tire Technology Ltd in Canada and implemented in the UK in partnership with Greenergy. The project will utilize thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions’ advanced thermal treatment technology and Haldor Topsoe’s HydroFlex™ renewable fuels technology.
