“…73 Syngas can also be used as in the Fischer− Tropsch synthesis to produce high-quality fuels such as diesel, gasoline, and hydrogen 27 or to produce other chemicals, e.g., CO hydrogenation to yield methanol. 74 It must be noted that syngas intended for chemical syntheses is required to be cleaned up more rigorously than syngas intended for use in turbines or engines. 73 A wide range of applications of syngas make the gasification process an appealing method of waste management.…”

Plastics are abundant and have a high energy content making their use in energy applications attractive. This article presents a review on plastic waste (PW) management by pyrolysis and gasification, which are two routes of thermochemical conversion (TCC) techniques. The conversion of PW and the application of its converted products are important steps towards reducing reliance on fossil fuel, enhancing closed-loop recycling of materials and circular economy. The review presented herein also focuses on product distribution and yields with emphasis on the energy content and potential integration to energy systems and grids. It is found that pyro-oils have properties similar to conventional fuels such as diesel and can partially substitute fossil fuels. In fact, the energy content of PW pyro-oils obtained by various researchers range from 41.10 -46.16 MJ kg -1 , which are close to the heating values of conventional fuels, thus are potential candidates for fuel applications. Typical treatment post conversion is also conducted to maintain the quality of the oil produced and the removal of sulphur content to conform with market standards. On the other hand, syngas produced during gasification possesses a lesser potential for fuel applications as its energy content may reach values as low as 20 MJ kg -1 in
