Abstract

As traditional fuel sources such as gasoline, diesel, and petroleum continue to dwindle rapidly, the search for alternative fuels becomes increasingly urgent. While renewable energy sources are often touted as a viable option, their efficiency remains compromised by high costs and challenges in harnessing energy. However, recent advancements have spotlighted a promising avenue: generating electricity from waste. Pyrolysis, particularly of plastic waste, has emerged as a viable energy source, thanks to technological progress. This article delves into an in-depth exploration of the pyrolysis process and its resulting byproducts. Researchers have meticulously analyzed the liquid oil yielded from this operation, examining the interplay of factors such as operating temperature, reaction duration, biomass infusion, and catalysts. The calorific values of oils derived from various polymers are found to rival those of traditional fuels, underscoring the potential of pyrolysis. Moreover, incorporating biomass resources like paper and wood has been shown to enhance both yield and calorific value. Identified avenues for further investigation highlight the ongoing potential of pyrolysis as a cutting-edge technology for energy conversion. In essence, pyrolysis offers a dual solution: mitigating plastic waste while also contributing to sustainable energy production.
