 Concept is to convert End of Life plastics to liquid fuel
 Diesel blend, Kerosene and Light Oil
 Target feedstock is plastics with minimal recycled value
 Low grade films and rigid plastics such as LDPE, PE and PP
 Currently c.1.5mt of this material landfilled or incinerated
 Strong customer demand to find alternative processing route
 Added cyclical value and green credentials of fuel use
 Avonmouth ELP is first in UK, plan for more once operational

used to recover energy
 20t/day feedstock will yield 17,000L fuel –
an average forecourt
 Key process steps:
 Feedstock shred and clean
 Plastic extrusion at 300oc
 Pyrolysis to break down carbon chains and reform
 Fractional distillation (standard oil refinery process)
 Fuel extraction and storage
