The production of alternative fuels through the pyrolysis of municipal plastic waste is gaining popularity as a sustainable solution to reduce waste accumulation while generating renewable energy. This research paper aims to evaluate the sustainability of municipal plastic waste pyrolysis for alternative fuel production and compare its properties with traditional fuels, i.e., petrol and diesel. The study includes a literature review of the pyrolysis process, fuel properties, and sustainability assessment frameworks. The experimental analysis involves the production of pyrolysis oil from municipal plastic waste and the characterization of its thermal properties. The sustainability assessment includes an environmental, social, and economic impact analysis and a life cycle assessment of the alternative fuel. The results show that municipal plastic waste pyrolysis produces pyrolysis oil that has similar properties to diesel fuel. The environmental impact analysis revealed a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption compared to traditional fuels. The social impact analysis highlighted the potential for job creation and waste reduction. The economic analysis demonstrated that municipal plastic waste pyrolysis can be a cost-effective solution compared to traditional fuels. The life cycle assessment revealed that the production of alternative fuels from municipal plastic waste has a lower environmental impact than traditional fuels. Overall, the study suggests that municipal plastic waste pyrolysis is a sustainable solution for alternative fuel production with significant environmental, social, and economic benefits. Further research is required to investigate the scalability and commercial viability of this technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
