Scrap Auto Tire Recycling

What happens to old tires from junk cars and scrap vehicles? Scrap auto tire recycling is critical due to the volume of tires sitting in scrap and junk piles across the US. According to www.epa.gov “there are at least 275 million scrap tires in stockpiles in the US.” This source reports three advantages to using tires as fuel:

1. Tires produce the same amount of energy as oil & 25% more energy than coal.
2. Ash residues from TDF may have lower heavy metals content than some coals.
3. Results in low emissions compared to many coals, mainly the high-sulfur coals.

(GCE), announced it recently secured a long-term agreement with Pittsburgh-based Liberty Tire Recycling, a tire recycler which processes 140 million+ tires annually, to provide tire chips as feedstock to GCE. GCE says the supply agreement allows it to move forward with its planned tires-to-fuels project which will convert tires, through proven pyrolysis gasification technology into transportation fuel & tire-derived carbon char. GCE’s project is expected to produce 1.5 million gallons of fuel each year while keeping more than 800,000 tires from landfills. GCE has plans to develop tires-to-fuels facilities throughout the US. The company calls the process Reforming Environmental Salvage into Clean Usable Energy (R.E.S.C.U.E).” To read the full article please visit http://www.recyclingtoday.com/global-clean-energy-liberty-tires.aspx
