LCA for pyrolysis oil and gas based on MoReTec pilot plant data. LCA for fossil-based naphtha includes carbon emissions associated with the production of fossil-based naphtha feedstock, plus incineration of the equivalent amount of mixed plastic waste required to produce pyrolysis oil and gas via the MoReTec process.
