We are a team of passionate professionals committed to finding sustainable solutions to energy production and waste management challenges.
The BioCarburante Company team envisions keeping more than 4.9 million waste tires annually out of landfills utilizing pyrolysis: a versatile and sustainable solution for converting waste materials into valuable products.
We will advance the use of proven pyrolysis technology that will transform waste, biomass, and tires, into high-quality combustible gas, carbon black, chemicals, and hydrocarbons. The process is a proven and widely recognized technology regulated by many states.
At BioCarburante Company, we are committed to reducing humanities reliance on virgin fossil-based raw materials to conserve natural resources and minimize our environmental impact. Our project exemplifies this commitment.
We are not aiming to revolutionize the industry but rather to accelerate the broader adoption of sustainable practices in North America. Carbon black is an essential material in tire manufacturing, yet the current tire lifecycle produces substantial waste. By recycling this waste into valuable new products, we are driving meaningful change in the industry and contributing to a more sustainable future.
Sustainable management of end-of-life tires through recycling presents a significant opportunity for us. Alongside our research partners, we have prioritized circular solutions as a key strategic focus. Our approach begins with tire pyrolysis, a process that heats end-of-life tires in a reactor to extract oil, which can then be used as a feedstock for producing carbon black. This circular business model in the tire industry has the potential to reduce waste and the incineration of used tires, positioning us as leaders in delivering sustainable solutions to our customers.
