Pyrolysis for Waste Management & Fuel Production

Emissions

Large scale pyrolysis operations generate many pollutant gasses, including carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. These gasses pollute the atmosphere and cause respiratory health issues when inhaled.

In addition, pyrolysis generates particulate matter, solid particles linked to poor air quality, cardiovascular issues, and death.

Economic Output

Economic experts predict that in the United States, pyrolysis facilities could create 39,000 jobs and generate nearly 10 billion USD for the economy.
