Recycling Technologies is industrializing a process—originally developed at the University of Warwick (UK)—to convert residual plastic waste into a low-sulfur hydrocarbon compound called Plaxx. Plaxx is created from residual mixed plastic waste that is not amenable to direct recycling and would otherwise go to landfill.

The n-alkanes derived using the RWP from the fat-containing oils are in the ranges needed for diesel and jet fuel. This step converts the n-alkanes to the specifications necessary for jet, diesel and gasoline fuels. Aromatization is a reaction in which the n-alkane is converted into aromatic (or cyclic) hydrocarbons.

A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ). In some areas where wind and hydropower is wasted at night, the rate can be as low as 2-3 cents per kWh. In 2003-04, the US Marine Corps demonstrated a diesel-electric PHEV-20 HUMVEE. Thats 20-25 cents a gallon.
