In BASF’s ChemCyclingTM project, plastic waste is transformed into pyrolysis oil using a thermochemical process. The oil can be fed in the BASF Verbund, replacing fossil resources. Using a mass balance approach, new products are manufactured with it. These have the same properties as products from fossil raw materials. BASF works together with partners such as Quantafuel, a start-up headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Quantafuel is specialized in the pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste and the integrated purification of the resulting oil.Rasmus Kærsgaard (left), Plant Director, Quantafuel, and Dr. Michael Bachtler (right), who is working on BASF’s ChemCyclingTM project, in Quantafuel’s pyrolysis and purification plant in Skive, Denmark.
