What is the planned capacity and location of the pyrolysis-based chemical recycling plant INEOS and Recuro are developing?

The plant will be located at INEOS’s Bamble polymer site in Norway and will have an input waste capacity of 33,000 tonnes/year.

How will INEOS use the output from the pyrolysis process, and what energy source will power the plant?

INEOS will use the pyrolysis output to produce chemically recycled ethylene at its Rafnes cracker, which will then be shipped to the Bamble plant to manufacture chemically recycled polyethylene; the plant will utilise both the oil and gas fractions from pyrolysis and will be powered entirely by renewable Norwegian energy.
