Recovery of carbon dioxide from methane combustion and ethylene oxide production to produce recycle content syngas

Abstract

It has been discovered that recycle content CO2 streams produced in a chemical recycling facility involving waste plastic pyrolysis can be converted into recycle content syngas (r-syngas), which can be used for various applications. More particularly, recycle content CO2 streams generated from a pyrolysis facility, a cracking facility, and/or an ethylene oxide facility may be recovered and converted into r-syngas. Moreover, recycle content methane, produced directly or indirectly from waste plastics, may also be used to produce flue gas streams, which provide additional recycle content CO2 streams to produce additional recycle content syngas. Thus, methods for producing a useful recycle content product (i.e., r-syngas) from conventional waste streams that are typically exhausted (i.e., CO2 streams) are provided herein.
