Problem
The chemical industry relies on virgin fossil fuels for feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. Plastic waste, often difficult to recycle, presents an environmental challenge and a missed opportunity for resource recovery. Steam crackers require high-quality naphtha to function optimally, but sourcing it sustainably remains a challenge.
Solution
Plastogaz offers a technology platform that converts waste plastics into high-quality circular feedstock for the chemical industry using catalytic hydrocracking. This chemical process, which uses hydrogen and catalysts, requires less energy than thermal decomposition, reducing costs and lowering the carbon footprint. The technology enables the production of circular naphtha that meets the strict purity and composition requirements for steam crackers. Plastogaz's process transforms waste into valuable resources, supporting a circular economy and enhancing sustainability.
Target Audience
The primary customers are chemical companies and petrochemical plants seeking sustainable feedstock solutions and waste valorization technologies.
