Pyrolysis oil, produced by the thermochemical decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, has gained traction as an alternative or supplementary fuel for diesel engines. Feedstocks span ...

Due to its role in lubrication, friction reduction, and cooling, motor oil is crucial for engines. Without it, the internal parts would be subjected to extreme wear, resulting in damaged components, ...

Specifically, the researchers are using a method known as pyrolysis, a process of using heat in the absence of oxygen to molecularly break materials down. In this case, it's used to break plastics ...
