EC 929-242-3
Also known as Py-oil.
chemXplore tracks 24 projects involving pyrolysis oil, of which 15 are active.
22 produce it and 3 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 13 new construction and 2 expansion.
3 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
First load of pyrolysis bio-oil delivered to FrieslandCampina for co-firing in industrial steam boilers, partially replacing natural gas.
Engineering plastics need tailored recycling—mechanical, solvent, depolymerisation or thermochemical—selected by waste composition; loopamid commercial plant began in early 2025; sorting and regulation are crucial.
First of two final heavy modules reached Antwerp after months trapped in the Strait of Hormuz; second expected shortly as installation and commissioning enter peak phase.
Empyro will resume pyrolysis oil production from woody biomass residues this summer and add an upgrading unit to produce lignin- and sugar-based chemical feedstocks.
Advanced pyrolysis plant at Bamble will process 33,000 t/yr of end-of-life plastics, powered by renewable energy to produce recycled ethylene and virgin-quality recycled polyethylene.
Flexible food-grade film made from chemically recycled mixed plastic via ISCC PLUS mass-balance; MoReTec-1 to supply 50,000 t/yr feedstock; Taghleef and Amcor handled film and conversion.
Warns China is dumping excess chemical capacity into Europe, calls for faster trade safeguards and ETS Investment Booster support for Project ONE (€5bn) low‑carbon ethylene.
New Rotterdam plant will convert end‑of‑life plastics via pyrolysis; PyroCon condenses vapors to liquid feedstock; basic engineering done, first skids due Q1 2027.
€1.5M EU grant for FEED of a Rotterdam-area chemical recycling plant, enabling terminal co-location, heat integration and logistics optimisation to lower CO₂ and improve economics.
Improves pyrolysis-oil quality for steam crackers by removing chlorine, nitrogen and silicon; specific adsorbents cut chlorides up to threefold and modular columns enable flexible plant integration.
