VTTI and Pyrum are to develop a state-of-the-art waste tyres recycling thermolysis plant at VTTI’s Antwerp Terminal (ATPC, Belgium).
The new plant will have a processing capacity of up to 90,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres annually, implemented in two phases of 45,000 tonnes each. VTTI will hold full ownership of the plant, while Pyrum will act as the development partner, providing its proprietary and patented thermolysis technology.
Guy Moeyens, CEO of VTTI, comments: ‘This collaboration with Pyrum marks a significant step in our journey towards a more sustainable future. By integrating cutting-edge thermolysis technology into our existing infrastructure, we are not only diversifying our energy portfolio but also contributing to the circular economy. This project reflects VTTI’s commitment to innovation and responsible energy solutions, reinforcing our role in the transition towards a greener and more sustainable energy landscape.’
As part of VTTI’s commitment to achieving 50% of its earnings from transitional and sustainable energies, the development of this plant represents a key milestone in diversifying its portfolio. VTTI aims to develop similar plants at its existing sites across the globe.
