A Cleaner, Cost-Effective Alternative to Traditional Fuels
At Gravita, we are committed to pioneering sustainable solutions that contribute to a circular economy and reduce environmental impact. Our Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) or Tyre Pyrolysis Oil exemplifies this commitment by transforming end-of-life Tyres into a valuable, eco-friendly energy source for industrial applications.
What is Tyre Derived Fuel?
Tyre Derived Fuel or Tyre Pyrolysis Oil is produced by processing scrap Tyres into a high-energy fuel alternative that can be used in cement kilns, paper mills, steel plants, power generation and other industrial boilers. By diverting millions of Tyres from landfills annually, TDF not only supports waste reduction but also offers a cleaner, cost-effective substitute for traditional fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum coke.
Why Gravita’s Tyre Derived Fuel?
Sustainability at Core: Our TDF solutions are crafted with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving natural resources, aligning with Gravita’s mission to foster sustainable growth and eco-friendly innovation.
Superior Energy Efficiency: TDF delivers higher calorific value compared to conventional fuels, enabling industries to optimize energy consumption while lowering operational costs.
Customizable Fuel Specifications: We tailor TDF products to meet specific industrial requirements, ensuring seamless integration with existing fuel systems.
Environmental Benefits: TDF combustion results in lower nitrogen oxide emissions, minimal ash residue, and no mercury content, supporting cleaner industrial processes.
Circular Economy Contribution: By converting scrap Tyres into energy, Gravita advances the principles of recycling and resource recovery, reinforcing our role as a leader in global sustainable recycling.
