Using Pyrolysis, Turning Waste Tires To Fuel

I had breakfast yesterday with a venture capitalist in Greensboro, NC, who had expressed an interest in waste-tires-to-fuels.  People are using pyrolysis in this capacity, with varying degrees of success, in plants all over the world, and I’ve noticed a growing amount of interest in making this happen here in the U.S., where we landfill 300 million such tires each year.

Within an hour of our meeting, I had connected him with the principals of two of the projects that I recommend in this space.  We’ll see where this goes.

    Considering the huge number of tires that wear out each year, that has considerable potential.

    Another up and comer in this space is Lehigh Technologies.

    What were the two projects that you recommend in this space (pyrolysis waste-tires-to-fuel)?

    Do they have websites?

    Thanks!

      No, they don’t have websites. If you’re interested as a potential investor, please give me a call. Thanks.
