We specialize in converting used tires into clean, renewable electricity through advanced pyrolysis technology. Our mission is to reduce landfill waste, combat pollution, and generate reliable energy for a greener future.
As long as legislation is enforced and tire supplies maintained tires-to-energy facilities are expected to double by the end of this century, and the tires being burned is expected to increase by 150%.
The use of piezoelectric materials in pneumatic tires enables capturing the waste energy of cars because of deformations in tires. An experimental setup was designed and constructed to simulate the movement and pressure inside the tire of a car.
The dedicated tire-to-energy facility, Exeter Energy Limited in Sterling, Connecticut burns mainly whole tires and consumes 10 million tires per year. This facility serves as a major scrap tire market for scrap tires in New York and northern New Jersey.
One type of waste that can be used in these plants is tires, which can be shredded and burned to create energy. Tire-derived fuel (TDF) is a popular alternative to conventional fossil fuels, as it produces the same amount of energy as petroleum and 25% more energy than coal.
Solar panels? Sure. Wind turbines? Absolutely. But using tires to store energy? It sounds like a Mad Max plot twist. Yet here we are, in 2025, where innovators are turning discarded tires into gravity-defying "batteries" and thermal
The system uses linear generators inside the tires that convert the energy from tire deformation due to impacts into electrical energy. This kinetic energy is stored in capacitors
The aim of this work is to address a feasible strategy for high-added value usage of the scrapped tire rubber, in the scope of the improvement of the phase change thermal energy storage performance.
Only crushed tire scraps remain as feedstock for pyrolysis. The main advantage of tire pyrolysis is that every product can be valorised and used as a new and alternative feedstock.
However, converting waste tires into energy or energy storage materials through methods such as incineration or combustion can also result in significant environmental issues.
Tires can be used as fuel either in shredded form - known as tire-derived fuel (TDF) — or whole, depending on the type of combustion device. Scrap tires are typically used as a supplement to traditional fuels such as coal or wood. Generally, tires need to be reduced in size to fit in most combustion units.
Enhanced thermal energy storage by carbonized scrapped tire rubber is evaluated. Thermal response of the composite is accelerated by carbonized scrapped tire rubber. Novel composite is potential for the application in thermal energy storage.
Electric energy harvesting tire using studs that generate electricity as they deform in the tire tread. The studs are fixed in grooves and have piezoelectric elements at their bottom. As the studs move with the road, the piezoelectric elements convert the deformation into electrical energy.
Scrap tires are used as fuel because of their high heating value. Using scrap tires is not recycling, but is considered a beneficial use — it is better to recover the energy from a tire rather than landfill it. In 2003, 130 million scrap tires were used as fuel (about 45% of all generated) — up from 25.9 million (10.7% of all generated) in 1991.
The tire has a coating of piezoelectric material on the inner surface that contacts the ground. This generates electric charge when the tire flexes under load. Circuitry on the tire can harvest this power for applications like tire pressure monitoring or wireless communication.
To generate electricity from the tires of a running car, the most suitable place must be chosen to install the piezoelectric materials. The pressure inside of a tire is slightly less than the pressure outside of the tire surface within the contact patch.
