Abstract

The problem of plastic waste generation is increasingly pressing in Indonesia. Thermal technology offers an alternative solution that is more environmentally friendly in managing plastic waste. This literature study aims to compare pyrolysis and gasification technologies in converting plastic waste into energy. The analysis was carried out by reviewing various relevant studies. The results of the study indicate that both technologies have the potential to reduce plastic waste generation and produce value-added products. Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process without oxygen that produces oil, gas, and charcoal. Gasification produces syngas that can be used as fuel. This process requires limited oxygen and produces more diverse emissions. The comparison between pyrolysis and gasification shows that the selection of the right technology depends on several factors, such as the type of plastic, the desired product quality, and environmental considerations. Pyrolysis is more suitable for oil production, while gasification is more flexible in producing various types of gas products. Overall, both pyrolysis and gasification have great potential in managing plastic waste. However, further research is needed to optimize the process and reduce environmental impacts. Thus, thermal technology can be a sustainable solution in overcoming the problem of plastic waste in Indonesia.

Abstract

The global climate change phenomenon is prompting initiatives aimed at transitioning energy sources towards more sustainable pathways. Pyrolysis technology offers significant potential in the conversion of biomass and plastic waste into alternative energy sources. The objective of this literature review is to analyze the effect of feedstock type on pyrolysis product characteristics and its potential as an energy source. The results of the literature study indicated that the feedstock from biomass possessed a lower calorific value in comparison to waste composed of polymer compounds. The pyrolysis process yields three primary byproducts: char, bio-oil, and gas. Char can be utilized as a solid fuel, such as briquettes. The processing of bio-oil into liquid fuel, bioethanol, is a viable option. The pyrolysis gas is a versatile material that can be utilized as a fuel for stoves and generators. Pyrolysis, a promising technology, has the potential to convert biomass and plastic waste into alternative energy. The type of feedstock employed is a critical factor in determining the quality and quantity of pyrolysis products. Through process optimization and technological development, pyrolysis has the potential to play a substantial role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and addressing environmental concerns.
