A&nbsp;scientific study by the Fraunhofer Institute recently published in the renowned journal \u201cResources, Conservation and Recycling\u201d proves that Pyrum\u2019s pyrolysis process offers significant CO2 savings compared to conventional methods.<sub>2<\/sub>-savings compared to conventional methods.<\/p>\n<p>The comprehensive \u201cLife Cycle Assessment\u201d (LCA) in the study compares the environmental impact of the pyrolysis of ELT using the Pyrum process with other conventional disposal methods, including incineration in cement plants and material recycling. For the first time, data from the entire process chain of line 1&nbsp;of the Pyrum plant in Dillingen was used for this purpose. The results show that the recycling of ELT through the Pyrum pyrolysis process is significantly more environmentally friendly than other methods in the categories of global warming, particulate matter and resource use. Overall, the Pyrum pyrolysis process results in a&nbsp;CO2 saving of 703 kg CO2 equivalent per tonne of ELT. By comparison, the current recycling mix in Germany achieves a&nbsp;saving of 561 kg CO2 equivalent per tonne of ELT.<sub>2<\/sub>-savings of 965 kg CO<sub>2<\/sub>-equivalent per tonne of used tyres. By comparison, the current recycling mix in Germany achieves a&nbsp;saving of 561 kg CO<sub>2<\/sub>-eq. per tonne of used&nbsp;tyres.<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: \u201cThe pyrolysis of ELT using the Pyrum process is superior to conventional utilisation methods. In addition to the LCA already carried out by Fraunhofer UMSICHT last year, the study results now published include real operating data from the mill and agglomeration. This means that the database is very robust and the results underline the enormous potential of the Pyrum pyrolysis technology in ELT recycling.<\/p>\n<p>The complete article on the results of the Fraunhofer Institute\u2019s LCA is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921344923003890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/\u200bwww\u200b.sciencedirect\u200b.com\/\u200bs\u200bc\u200bi\u200be\u200bn\u200bc\u200be\u200b\/\u200ba\u200br\u200bt\u200bi\u200bc\u200bl\u200be\u200b\/\u200bp\u200bi\u200bi\u200b\/\u200bS\u200b0\u200b9\u200b2\u200b1\u200b3\u200b4\u200b4\u200b9\u200b2\u200b3\u200b0\u200b0\u200b3\u200b890<\/a> .<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pyrum Innovations AG: Fraunhofer study confirms 965 kg CO2 savings per tonne of used tyres through Pyrum pyrolysis.
