Green news: Corsair/Kera Energy tie-up for distribution of pyrolysis oil
Dutch chemical recycling firm Corsair Group International Holding BV has tied up with Swiss-based sustainable material distributor Kera Energy AG to globally distribute pyrolysis oil (pyoil).
Kera Energy has an overall plastics processing capacity of up to 300,000 tonnes/year in compliance with ISCC Plus and REACH regulations. The partnership will help commercially optimise sustainable feedstock transportation for the chemical industry, including bionaphtha and pyoil, it said.
Sustainable feedstocks are often required to be transported by ships carrying the necessary sustainability certifications, as the whole value chain along the production of sustainable chemicals will be audited by the ISCC Plus issuer.
Kera adds it will utilise Corsair’s pyoil, produced from mixed plastic household waste at facilities in Thailand, Finland and planned future facilities.
Pyrolysis is one of the prevailing routes to chemically recycle waste plastics back to its building block state. The pyoil can then be processed and fed into a steam cracker as a drop-in naphtha substitute for use in the production of virgin-quality plastic products.
