[Stoves] a bit more on turning plastic into fuel..Its rather well known and really applicable to us as stove and biofuels makers

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Richard

I thought the big deal was turning plastic (bottles etc) into a liquid fuel? I saw that marketed several times as the latest thing.

The gas fuel I wasn't following. Is it just a different temperature?

One of the guys in Bishkek built a copy of the KG4 stove with a chamber heated by the flame, and put chunks of tires in it to 'make a combustible gas' that was fed into the latter portion of the flame. His plan was to liquefy it, which happens quite easily. ‎There is a great deal of energy in a tire. Heating a tire produces an oil that can be sold to recycling companies.

Crispin



Teddy Kinyanjui's recent attached article ref. plastics conversion to gaseous fuel triggered a recollection fo a JApanese researcher a few years back. A simple google search showed that it is progressing widely across our shared planet; Its no longer new at all. Am surprised that the Kenyan gentileman could even get a patent for it.
What is new is the fact that we we all know getting the temperature  up while reducing oxygen pyrolizes then gassifies ordinary  plastic wastes styrafoam included to carbon powder and releases a clean burning gaseous fuel.

This is great opportunity to leap frog the whole negative  issue about biomass fuels; Plastic containers are typically called the national flower of much of the developing nations.

Am all ears ...
