Waste to Chemicals

From Wikiwaste

A relatively new process in which Residual Waste is converted into biofuels (e.g. methanol) and chemicals for industrial use[1]. Europe’s first Waste to Chemicals facility will be built in the Port of Rotterdam, processing 300,000 tonnes/year of waste to produce 220,000 tonnes/year of methanol through a combination of processes including Gasification, Syngas conditioning, and Catalytic Synthesis[1].

The first 'waste to jet fuels' (SAF) facilities based on Residual Waste in the UK are planned in:

Often, the Waste to Chemicals or Fuels processes involve the implementation of the Fischer Tropsch Process on cleaned syngas from the gasification of waste[5]. ‌
