Who buys pyrolysis oil? What are the sales channels?

Pyrolysis oil, also known as bio-oil, is a product derived from the pyrolysis process, which involves the thermal decomposition of organic materials like, waste plastics, or tires or oil sludge in the absence of oxygen. With a calorific value of 25 - 35 MJ/kg (higher than common coal/wood fuels, etc.), pyrolysis oil is widely used as a popular alternative fuel for boilers and various industries.

Pyrolysis oil from pyrolysis process

The buyers and sales channels for pyrolysis oil vary depending on its quality, intended use, and market demand. Here are the key buyers and sales channels of pyrolysis oil listed by Henan Doing Company for pyrolysis plant owners/investors for reference:

Buyers of Pyrolysis Oil

Industrial Fuel Users:

Cement Plants, Power Stations, Steel Mills, Ceramic Factories, Glass Manufacturers, and Marine Fuel Suppliers:

These industries often use heavy fuel oil (HFO) or other low-grade fuels for energy generation. Pyrolysis oil can serve as a direct substitute or blending component, meeting their energy needs.

Buyers of pyrolysis oil

Chemical and Petrochemical Companies:

Refining and Chemical Production:

Pyrolysis oil can be further refined through oil distillation machine to extract high-value chemicals or used as a feedstock for producing synthetic fuels, plastics, and other petrochemical products. Its potential to yield components like aromatics and olefins makes it attractive for chemical synthesis.

Henan Doing Company supplies oil distillation machine to make diesel from pyrolysis oil. The extracted diesel can be used in ships, diesel generators, heavy machinery, tractors, etc.

Sales Channels

The market price of pyrolysis oil varies between $300−500 per ton.

Direct Sales:

Producers of pyrolysis oil may sell directly to industrial users, such as cement plants or power plants, through long-term contracts or spot purchases.

Brokers and Traders:

Specialized brokers and traders in the energy or chemical sectors may facilitate the sale of pyrolysis oil to buyers in different regions. They leverage their market knowledge and networks to facilitate transactions and ensure the product reaches the most suitable markets.

Refineries and Chemical Processors:

Pyrolysis oil can be sold to refineries or chemical processors that have the capability to upgrade it into higher-value products. They can integrate pyrolysis oil into their existing processes, maximizing its potential and marketability.

Pyrolysis oil application channels

In conclusion, pyrolysis oil presents a promising opportunity in the transition towards sustainable energy and resource utilization. As industries seek greener alternatives and the chemical and biofuel sectors innovate, the demand for pyrolysis oil is set to grow. By identifying the right buyers and utilizing appropriate sales channels, pyrolysis oil producers can effectively penetrate the market and contribute to the growing industry focused on sustainability and renewable energy solutions.
