Plastikoleum Tower Uses Solar Power to Turn Waste Plastic into Raw Petroleum

[Deadstring67]

---

The idea to create a tower that could turn plastic waste into oil belongs to Japanese inventor Akinori Ito. His company Blest Corporation is known for manufacturing and selling devices that process waste plastic and turn it back into raw petroleum.

The latest device is called Plastikoleum Tower and it is able to transform 1 kilogram of plastic waste into 1 liter of oil. The latter can be then refined into gasoline, kerosene or diesel.

It would be interesting to note that similar inventions have one major drawback - they require a lot of energy. In order to run for 1 hour such devices need 1KWh of electricity.

The Plastikoleum tower was developed to solve this problem. It converts plastic waste into oil by harnessing solar energy. The invention boasts a capacity of around 10MW, which allows the tower to generate around 60 barrels of oil per hour.

Please stay on topic--the topic clearly doesn't have anything to do with nuclear power.

I would rather use the 1KWhour...

The energy used for conversion does not come from the grid.
They are using solar power tower, you can see the array of mirrors in front of the tower.

Nindot ni kung naa unta ni sa pinas para makatipid ta sa gas.
Maypa sa ilaha kay gi educate jud ang mga bata about ani. Maayo unta mao pud ni himoon sa atong nasod

I knew that dude.
What I mean is use the 1KWhour to charge up batteries for motors of the production.
It's kinda redundant.

Nindot jud ni xa, pananglitan lag kada country naa tagsa2 inani, arun dili dali mahurot atong fossil fuels. Then maka bawi2 sa pagtabang sa environment.
