Building a successful pyrolysis project

Successful pyrolysis projects combine suitable feedstock with a nearby user for the recovered heat or fuel.

Feedstock quality directly influences both carbon removal potential and energy production. Key feedstock characteristics include:

  • High carbon content increases carbon removal potential
  • High heating value increases potential energy output
  • Low moisture content reduces pre-processing requirements and increases flexibility in energy integration
  • Low abrasive particle content reduces equipment wear and operating costs

Energy use is equally important. Around half of the feedstock’s energy is converted into pyrolysis gas, so a nearby heat user can make a major contribution to project economics.

Alternatively, the pyrolysis gas may partly be converted into bio-oil or fully converted to syngas.
