CNN - Converting old plastic material to oil and fuel

[stap0510]

Greenpeace IS part of the problem.

Now that this invention is out, Michael is gonna be getting into a "car accident" quite soon I'm sure

This is Awesome! Recently I saw some pieces on shows like CNN and the journal with Joan Lunden on PBS that were talking about issues and solutions for industrial recycling. This kind of thing takes it to the next level. Things look pretty bad sometimes but some of these technologies bring some hope into the situation.

so if this machine is a scam and they're not producing more energy from it than they put into it, why is there an order for more of them, and why are they doing it?

[aloisgault]

Of course the plastic is petroleum origin, so it is not carbon neutral. If this breaks it down and allows for reprocessing either into fuel or more plastic, it would shrink the need for more NEW gas to be brought up....... Better than nothing which is good enough for me......

[SirChemALot]

They are spending energy to make oil from plastic that did not get recycled. Why not recycle the plastic? only 8 % of the oil ends up as plastic. It is a better use than fuel, which gets burned up and turns into CO2. You can make fuel from plants, preserve the plastics from oil! if you want to burn it, burn the plastic, without spending energy on it.

The gases that are burnt off could be used to heat water into steam and turn a generator that could help power the heating process.

leave it to green peace to oppose a solution to a problem they bitch about. *Shakes head*

[sccooper791]

I saw on another youtube video, that the input of energy that goes into the converting process is actually more than the energy output. Essentially more energy is used to create less eneregy...SO FAIL!

[thenodnarb]

@sccooper791

I heard the opposite.

[aman111501]

How to you do this at home

[thenodnarb]

@aman111501

Heat plastic, distill(or cool) the gasses. Easy.

JBI Inc is LIGHTYEARS ahead ot this company. They convert plastic into Diesl and Gasoline, and are ready for production NOW.

Google JBI Global ...................

Nice to see SOMETHING being done to create a solution for plastic waste. Naysayers give us a break.

Bureaucracy killing innovation = greenpeace

Envion: sounds a little bit like Enron doesn't it!!

[Topazman12]

And Japan made a small size unit that can fit in your car.

[tigerbizz]

Hi, what items are required to get a small unit rigged up?

thanks

[carbogger]

Why do they always make out like it is rocket science to do this. I have been making my own fuel for some time now in my own back yard made from plastic using a machine made from old oil drums and car radiators.

I can turn 200 lbs of ground up plastic "55 gallon barrel full to the top" into 26 gallons of fuel that can be separated into about 9 gallons of gasoline and the rest fuel/diesel.

They don't even mention the non condensable fuels that you also get from it such as propane and methane +

@carbogger

is there a guide i can learn  from

thx

[carbogger]

@CRAKIZGOOD

check my vids there are links there to my website

[DrASADFAROOQUI]

@carbogger

Iam in waste plastic recycler . Iam interested in your backyard process of converting waste plastic to gasoline + diesel fuel .

Can you breif about your process . let me know if there are any charges for it .
