CleanPyro, a developer and manufacturer of pyrolysis waste to energy technology, has become a member of the International Green Energy Council (IGEC) to advance the adoption of sustainable and economically viable waste to energy technologies; specifically waste plastics to crude oil. CleanPyro operates its pilot pyrolysis plant in Bangkok Thailand, converting over 1,200 tons of waste plastic into 7,560 barrels of crude oil year to date in 2014. The factory operation is commercially scalable and serves as proof of concept for international growth. “The waste to energy sector is a very exciting space to be in today. Industry leaders have yet to commercially scale a technology that converts plastic to oil in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner. CleanPyro has proven its technology and is on the cutting edge of progress,” says Eugene Yesin, Founder and CEO.
“The ability to produce a barrel of oil for under $20 while helping achieve Zero Waste goals creates a tremendous opportunity for both the public and private sectors. We are solving two global problems profitably,” says Matt Walsh, VP Sales. Through rigorous testing and collaboration with the world’s leading plastic and petro chemists, CleanPyro’s technology yields high quality, ultra low sulfur crude oil that contains over 60% diesel. A typical feedstock is low value plastic bags. CleanPyro is making a significant impact in the global plastic waste problem- converting approximately 1 million plastic bags a day into 5,000 liters of high quality oil- from a single machine. A strategic partnership with the International Green Energy Council will enhance the collaboration of emerging technologies in the waste to energy space. “This new synergy with CleanPyro allows the International Green Energy Council to respond to Request for Proposals of large infrastructure and development projects in all 129 countries that we have chartered chapters,” says Ralph Avallone, Secretary General of the International Green Energy Council. “We will work with CleanPyro to bring this technology around the World.”
