The global plastic to fuel market size is expected to reach USD 2,693.8 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 23.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising concerns about the hazardous impact of plastic waste and the pollution created as a result are handled through plastic to fuel conversion to keep the environment safe and to produce petroleum products.
Plastic is converted into different forms of energy (including fuel) and heat. The rising demand for petrol or diesel in transportation and jet airways is projected to be a key driver of the market. The growing population owing to urbanization and industrialization is also expected to propel the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Rising developments in the manufacturing industry to produce a high volume of fuel by increasing the production capacity of renewable fuel plants are anticipated to impel market growth over the next few years. In March 2017, the Diamond Green Diesel facility expanded its annual renewable diesel production capacity to 275.0 million gallons using Honeywell's UOP ecofining technology. Similar interest by other oil and gas giants such as Chevron and Enel are anticipated to drive the market.
The growing demand for fuel in the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period. Intensive R&D and technological advancements are likely to propel the market in the emerging economies. The rising volume of residential and industrial plastic waste in developing countries such as India and China is projected to drive the market.
Governments have been dependent on landfills or incineration for plastic waste management in the past. However, the increasing demand for sustainable fuel has prompted industries to shift to the development of advanced technologies. Numerous waste management tools are employed on such waste to produce different forms of energy such as heat, electricity, fuel, and diesel, driving the overall market.
