The UK generates about 450,000 tonnes of used tyres each year. Some can be re-used and re-treaded, but 400,000 tonnes have to be disposed of. These are not allowed to go to landfill. Some are reprocessed in the UK into rubber crumb for use in (for example) play surfaces and artificial turf. A proportion is also turned into shred for use in cement kilns. Due to the low cost of international shipping and historically low barriers an increasing amount has been exported to India reaching 263,000 tonnes in 2018, largely for low-technology pyrolysis to produce crude and polluting fuel oil.Both the UK and Indian Governments are seeking to eliminate exports which have adverse health and environmental impacts. Furthermore the UK has to pay to export its waste.More sophisticated pyrolysis processes have been developed than used in (for example) India. These produce a better quality oil and some recover the Carbon Black in tyres. However, almost non can produce both Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) of a quality that can be directly refined into transport fuels, and recover Carbon Black (rCB) that can be re-used in tyres.Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) has developed an environmentally sound process that, almost uniquely, produces both high quality TPO and rCB. 2G BioPOWER has been working with Enviro for several years.TPO is partially renewable due to the natural rubber in tyres. 2G BioPOWER is now working with the UK fuel sector to use TPO from Enviro's technology to produce renewable transport fuel called 'Development Fuel'. This new category of waste-derived fuel will increasingly be used in the UK and presents a unique opportunity for the Enviro technology. Furthermore Enviro has now established a partnership with Michelin opening up the use of rCB from a UK project in tyre manufacture.The purpose of the project is to define how to deploy Enviro's technology at large scale in the UK. Such deployment will both reduce (and potentially eliminate) UK tyre exports, improve the UK's balance of payments, provide employment in the UK and also reduce UK GHG emissions, particularly in transport.

英国每年产生约45万吨旧轮胎。有些可以再利用和再加工，但40万吨必须处理。这些都不允许去填埋场。有些在英国被再加工成橡胶屑，用于（例如）运动场地和人造草坪。一部分还被制成碎料，用于水泥窑。由于国际航运成本低，贸易壁垒历来较低，2018年出口到印度的数量不断增加，达到263，000吨，主要用于低技术热解生产原油和污染燃料油。英国和印度政府都在寻求消除对健康和环境产生不利影响的出口。此外，英国必须支付出口废物的费用，已经开发出比印度更复杂的热解工艺。这些生产出质量更好的油，有些回收轮胎中的炭黑。然而，几乎没有一家公司既能生产出质量可直接提炼成运输燃料的轮胎热解油（TPO），又能回收可在轮胎中重复使用的炭黑（rCB）。斯堪的纳维亚环境系统公司（Enviro）开发了一种环境无害的工艺，几乎是独一无二的，既能生产出高质量的TPO，也能生产出高质量的rCB。2G BioPOWER已经与Enviro合作了好几年。TPO是部分可再生的，因为轮胎中含有天然橡胶。2G BioPOWER目前正在与英国燃料部门合作，使用Enviro的TPO技术生产可再生运输燃料，称为“发展燃料”。这种新的废物衍生燃料类别将越来越多地在英国使用，并为Enviro技术提供了独特的机会。此外，Enviro现在已经与米其林建立了合作伙伴关系，在英国的一个轮胎制造项目中开放使用rCB。该项目的目的是确定如何在英国大规模部署Enviro的技术。这种部署将减少（并可能消除）英国轮胎出口，改善英国的国际收支平衡，为英国提供就业机会，并减少英国的温室气体排放，特别是在交通领域。
