Ecosene

Performance without compromise. Rocket Fuel

In order to aid the overall environmental clean-up mission and alleviate the depletion of fossil fuels, Ecosene aims to develop the necessary technology to enable the conversion of non-recyclable plastic waste into high-grade in-demand aerospace fuel.

Successful test firing has been held for 350 kg (LEO) to compare kerosene and Ecosene.

Result: Ecosene is 1% - 3% better than kerosene by its energy characteristics.

Plastic Recycling

Skyrora is working on innovative plastic recycling method using a catalytic pyrolysis to obtain new sources of energy and high-quality fuels for aerospace industry.

We do not process
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Skyrora`s Ecosene fuel machine converts the following types of plastic waste:

  • Polypropylene (PP).
  • Polyester (PE).
  • Polystyrene (PS) and their mixtures and analogues.

Ecosene technology allows to produce high-quality eco-aviation rocket fuel from waste plastic, obtained from local councils.

The plastic is subjected to pyrolysis and refining.

With an increasing need to manage global waste as well as a growing demand for fuel (leading to a significant reduction in fossil fuels), the production of Ecosene rocket fuel has the opportunity to change the operation of the industry in years to come.

In addition to this, we can potentially reduce the transportation footprint of aviation fuel by developing a container/skid-based Ecosene process.
