About

The project explores the innovative use of underwater plastic waste to produce synthetic fuel through pyrolysis. By applying advanced pyrolysis technology, plastics recovered from marine environments are converted into usable fuel, providing a dual benefit: reducing oceanic plastic pollution and generating energy. This process involves the thermal decomposition of plastics in the absence of oxygen, resulting in liquid fuels, gases, and solid byproducts that can be further refined or utilized. The project emphasizes sustaiNoble resource maNogement, energy recovery, and environmental cleanup, offering a potential solution to both the growing plastic crisis and the need for renewable energy sources.
