Recycling plastics to curb CO2 emissions
The project has developed innovative technologies for pretreating and upgrading liquefied waste plastic. Once integrated into a refinery’s chemical recycling process, this circular technology will decrease CO₂ emissions and help reduce Europe’s dependence on fossil fuels. By enabling the recycling of more than 5.9 million tonnes of otherwise hard-to-recycle plastics, the PULSE chemical recycling process will result in a total greenhouse gas saving of 10.3 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent during its first 10 years of operation and save 3.95 million tonnes of virgin fossil raw materials.
