Abstract
Energy is essential for the nature of life and the development of countries. The main demand for the 21st century is to fulfill growing energy needs. Pakistan, through the use of fossil fuels, meets energy demands. There is pressure on the economy of the country due to the massive reliance on fossil fuels, and this tendency is influenced by various environmental impacts. To overcome the burden on fossil fuels, more attention has been drawn to provide fossil fuel substitution. Tire pyrolysis is among the effective substitutes of the fuel technology that generates useful products of liquid oil, char, and pyro gas. This research focuses on the environmental, social, and economic viability of tire pyrolysis oil in Pakistan. This study estimates the production and potential of tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) in Pakistan. Based on the calculations, the potential of tire pyrolysis oil production in Pakistan from 2015–2019 is 468,081 to 548,406 tons. The potential production of TPO in 2018–2019 was ~8.30% of the total import (6.6 million tons) of crude oil. Therefore, tire pyrolysis oil is considered an alternative fuel representing an economic and environmentally viability solution for Pakistan.
Highlights
Economic development requires valuable input from all areas to expand
Its properties become similar to diesel fuel which can be used in passenger cars and vans [50]
The production of tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) and its utilization are less significant in Pakistan because the waste tires are disposed into landfills and in stockpiles
Summary
Economic development requires valuable input from all areas to expand. The key demand of the 21st century is to cope with the rising energy demands [1,2,3]. This study a review of theincludes currentthe potential scenario of waste of tire transport sector, and the share of thermal and renewable energy sources as well pyrolysis oil for Pakistan. The study includes the energy scenario, consumption of oil in as CO2 emissions in Pakistan. The comparison of the production of TPO in Pakistan with other countries and highlighting the proposed strategy that includes a brief case study of the current oil reservoir, a comparison of TPO with diesel, different applications of TPO, and different techniques and sources adopted by Pakistan to meet its energy demands have been discussed in detail. The study includes the total production of TPO in Pakistan and its impacts on oil imports and TPO contribution to the fulfilment of energy demand. This study can be taken as a case study for developing countries
