Estimate Your Returns

Find out what a waste-to-diesel pyrolysis plant could produce for you — and what it could be worth.

Estimate Your Returns

This calculator helps you understand the potential value of a waste-to-diesel pyrolysis plant. Choose your starting point:

• “I have waste feedstock” — Enter how many tonnes you can source per day, and see how much diesel, carbon black, and revenue the plant could generate.

• “I want diesel” — Enter how many litres of diesel you want per month, and see how much waste feedstock you would need.

Important: These are estimates only. Actual output depends on feedstock quality, moisture content, ambient temperature, equipment condition, and operational practices. Contact us for a site-specific feasibility study.

Default is the September 2026 wholesale price for 500ppm diesel (inland). Our tyre-oil diesel is around 235ppm sulphur, so it sells in the 500ppm grade. Actual offtake prices may be lower than wholesale.
