Green Carbon, Inc. has teamed up with Caterpillar Power Systems to develop an eco-friendly tire recycling system.
The bio-congeneration system uses Green Carbon’s TVR System and Caterpillar’s custom-designed generator to produce electricity for its processes. The system uses Syn Gas, generated from processing tires, belting and rubber tracks.
According to a life cycle assessment by Earth Shift Global, the system will reduce CO2E emissions by millions of pounds.
Phil Wilson and Fred Taylor, Green Carbon co-founders, hope to have report on the system’s sustainability by the end of first quarter of 2018.
