“…Despite TDF reduces the cost of energy production [60,61], thermoelectric power plants prefer to use whole ST, since producing TDF can be up to five times more expensive than pulverizing coal [58], while its making consumes large amounts of energy [62]. However, TDF can be used to feed thermal processes in many other industries, for instance metallurgical, cement, pharmaceutical and recycling, or to provide electricity to run the operations of those industries, via energy recovery by pyrolysis, the most recommended method [39,40].…”

“…It is within this option where ST must be included on the Island renewable energy resources portfolio, due to its high heat potential, and the new legal framework and economic incentives to develop projects with such purposes [18]. Given that pyrolysis is the best recommended method for the management and energy recovery of ST [39,40], that technique can only renders sound economic benefits if the final products are improved under high standards to reach a marketable yield [26], and if the process reassures not to inflict public and environmental health, the pillars of sustainability.…”

“…Despite this, with an almost inexhaustible supply of ST in PR and the possibility to receive ST from neighboring Caribbean islands that confront problems with this material [25,82], the herein hypothetical values deserve to be validated by pilot projects through alliances with the local government, PREPA, the private sector, and universities, primarily to compare and examine the 35%-45% performance [29,42], and the different types of pyrolysis techniques [31] that better applies to a tropical island environment. Being pyrolysis the most recommended procedure for processing scrap tire [38][39][40][41]44], new models deserve to be developed to characterize its kinetics and to interpret the techniques that will result in obtaining a gas or liquid by-product with high calorific value [54], and to validate that energy recovered exceeds the one required to initiate and sustain the process [53]. Certainly pyrolysis presents marketing reticence due to the high costs of installation of the facilities [29,76], but this factor can be addressed through collaboration networks [70], and the fact that initial costs are recovered in the short-term [29].…”

Puerto Rico generates and disposes nearly five million/year scrap tires (ST), of which 4.2% is recycled and 80% is exported. The Island has one of the world highest electrical service tariff ($0.28 kWh), because of its dependency on fossil fuels for power generation. The Government has not considered ST for electricity production, despite more than 13,000 ST are generated daily, and paradoxically exported for that purpose. Theoretically, if ST recycling increases to 10% and assuming that the caloric value of ST be 33 MJ/kg, it was estimated that scrap tires processed with pyrolysis can supply annually about 379 MWh, a potential value that shall not be unnoticed. This paper is a literature review to describe the legal, technical, and economic framework for the viability of ST for power generation in Puerto Rico using pyrolysis, the most recommended process for ST energy recovery. Data of ST from Puerto Rico was used to model the potential of ST for pyrolytic energy conversion. The herein article is intended to invite other insular countries and territories, to join efforts with the academic and scientific community, and with the energy generation sector, to validate ST as a sustainable option for energy generation.

Abstract:The production of synthetic fuels from alternative sources has increased in recent years as a cleaner, more sustainable source of transport fuel is now required. The European Commission has outlined renewable energy targets pertaining to transport fuel which must be met by 2020. In response to these targets Ireland has committed, through the Biofuels Obligation Scheme of 2008, to producing 3% of transport fuels from biofuels by 2010 and 10% by 2020. In order to be suitable for sale in Europe, diesel fuels and biodiesels must meet certain European fuel specifications outlined in the EN 590:2009 standard. The aim of this paper was to prepare blends of varying proportions of synthetic diesel (Cyn-diesel) fuel, produced from the pyrolysis of plastic, vs regular fossil diesel. The flash point (°C) and cold filter plugging point (°C) of these blends as well as of the conventional petroleum diesel fuel were analysed in relation to compliance with the European fuel standard EN 590. The results confirmed that blending of Cyn-diesel with conventional petroleum diesel has a highly significant effect on the properties of the resulting fuel blend. The results show that by increasing the Cyn-diesel content of the blend, the flash point of the blend decreases and the cold filter plugging point increases. Furthermore, comparing the fuel blends to EN 590 specifications has highlighted significant trends. The cold filter plugging points of all of the fuel blends are in compliance with EN 590 specifications. However, only blends of up to, and including, 40% Cyn-diesel are in compliance with EN 590 specifications for flash point. This analysis shows that a blend of 40% Cyndiesel is in compliance with all of the EN 590 specifications examined, and as such could be placed on the European fuel market (provided that the blend meets the requirements for the other properties in the EN 590 specification). This finding highlights the potential for Cyn-diesel blends to be incorporated into the European and national renewable energy targets.

End‐of‐life tires (ELTs) and their decomposition are becoming a major environmental issue in the local region as a result of economic and technological challenges. Despite this, ELT management is gaining popularity as an advanced function for treating tires to obtain char, oil, and gas products using pyrolysis. The main goal of this article is to integrate data from an actual recycling plant with the activities of pyrolysis products and their physical properties in the literature. This article presents energy potentials and basic applications of pyrolysis products as well as advances in the current situation in ELT management in the world. Accordingly, an existing ELT management in Erzincan, Turkey is explained in detail by considering the available energy recovery and material treatment activities. In this plant, which has an installed power capacity of 12 MW, approximately 25 tons of pyrolytic oil, 10.7 tons of pyrolytic gas, 24 tons of carbon black and, 10.4 tons of steel are produced daily. The calorific values of carbon black and pyrolytic oil for the products leaving the pyrolysis plant are close to the values in the literature, which is promising. In the plant, the overall thermal efficiency of the system and the engine is found to be 26.34% and 51.24%, respectively. On the other hand, to supply additional power to the plant utilizing exhaust gas discharged to the atmosphere, some thermodynamic models can be developed; additionally, more rational values can be obtained through thermoeconomic and optimization.
