A groundbreaking refinery is set to transform end-of-life tyres (ELTs) into advanced biofuels, offering a sustainable solution to waste management and fossil fuel dependency. This next-generation waste-to-fuel facility is a significant step in the circular economy, reducing landfill waste while producing low-carbon fuels for transportation and industrial applications.

As demand for renewable diesel and alternative fuels increases, this project highlights the growing importance of tyre pyrolysis technology in decarbonizing the energy sector. This report explores the impact of tyre-derived biofuels, the technology behind the refinery, and its role in the transition to sustainable fuel solutions.

Nexolub and Life for Tyres (L4T) have announced a 10-year offtake agreement for the supply of renewable biofuel to be produced at a new recycling plant under construction in Puertollano, Spain.
This agreement will result in an expected volume of up to 10,000 tonnes per year of the new advanced hydrocarbon.

Used tyres will be sent to refineries to meet the growing demand for advanced raw materials in the petrochemical, marine, and aviation sectors.

The plant will be operational early next year and have an annual processing capacity of around 30,000 tonnes of used tyres. It will be the first in Spain and the largest in Europe capable of transforming the product into advanced biofuel and other high-quality secondary raw materials.

Marc Monllau, CEO of Nexolub, said, “The current environmental challenges require sustainable raw materials that can be successfully integrated into the supply chain of conventional petrochemicals and maritime transport.

“This agreement, the first with Life for Tyres, will be the ideal framework for building the expansion strategy of the next plants planned in Spain. It allows us to offer solutions linked to the circular economy, a product in growing demand due to the transition momentum the hydrocarbon sector is going through.”

L4T’s new advanced biofuel is a renewable and circular liquid. It will be certified by the International Sustainable Carbon Credit (ISCC).

This proves compliance with the legal requirements for sustainability in the bioenergy markets and documents the sustainability and traceability of the supply chain from tyre recycling to processing and delivery of the end product to the customer.

Located in the La Nava industrial estate in Puertollano, Spain, Life for Tyres plans to start the plant at the beginning of January. The plant will create 38 direct and 250 indirect jobs, requiring an investment of almost 30 million euros.

In addition to advanced biofuel, high-quality raw materials such as green carbon black, the metallic fraction (steel) in tyres, and Syngas will be obtained.
