据烃加工网站1月18日报道 据估计，全球每年有15亿个轮胎被丢弃，造成大量浪费。该项目将是首个以废旧轮胎为原料生产低碳低硫燃料。轮胎将被热解生成热解油，可以通过Topsoe的HydroFlex?技术催化转化为燃料。
该工艺还回收可在循环经济中再利用的炭黑，用于生产新轮胎和其他工业橡胶产品。
该设施还可以选择包括一个能够生产可持续航空燃料（SAF）的独立工厂，这家工厂也将使用HydroFlex? 技术。
Greenergy首席执行官Christian Flach表示：“我们一直在探索用不同的废品生产液体燃料的创新方法，以继续创造新形式的发展燃料，并在未来几年进一步实现碳节约。该项目的这一里程碑是我们拓展行业领先的可再生能源业务战略的关键部分。 我们的客户将继续受益于我们对可再生燃料制造和混合的综合方法。”
该工厂被指定位于泰晤士河企业园，有待规划批准，并计划在2025年开始商业生产。
Haldor Topsoe清洁燃料和化学品技术高级副总裁陈飞表示：“我们很高兴Greenergy选择了Topsoe的HydroFlex? 这项创新项目的技术。我们很高兴能与Greenergy及其合作伙伴密切合作，在不久的将来建立世界上第一个利用废旧轮胎生产低碳交通燃料的商业工厂，这与Topsoe的愿景非常一致，即到2024年成为全球碳减排技术的领导者。”

Greenergy selects technology to produce low-carbon fuels from waste tires
An estimated 1.5 billion tires are discarded each year worldwide, creating significant waste. This project will be the first of its kind to use waste tires as feedstock for low-carbon, low-sulfur fuel production. The tires will be pyrolyzed to produce pyrolysis oil that can be catalytically converted into fuel using Topsoe’s HydroFlex? technology.
The process also recovers carbon black that can be reused in the circular economy for the production of new tires and other industrial rubber products.
The facility will also have the optionality to include an independent plant that could produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This plant will also use the HydroFlex? technology.
“We have been exploring innovative ways to produce liquid fuels from different waste products to continue to create new forms of development fuels and deliver further carbon savings in the years ahead. This milestone for the project is a key part of our strategy to expand our industry-leading renewables business. Our customers will continue to benefit from our integrated approach to manufacturing and blending of renewable fuels,” says Christian Flach, CEO of Greenergy.
The plant is earmarked to be located at Thames Enterprise Park, subject to planning approval and with a view to commence commercial production in 2025.
“We are very happy that Greenergy has selected Topsoe’s HydroFlex? technology for this innovative project. We are excited to work closely with Greenergy and their partners to build the world’s first commercial plant to produce low-carbon transportation fuels from waste tires in the near future. This is very much in line with Topsoe’s vision to be recognized as the global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies by 2024,” says Fei Chen, SVP Clean Fuels & Chemicals Technology, Haldor Topsoe.
