Intertek Caleb Brett Enhances Global Sustainability and Alternative Fuel Services with Expanded Pyrolysis Oil Testing Capabilities
01 Oct 2024
London, UK: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is proud to announce the enhancement of its Caleb Brett global sustainability and alternative fuel services with expanded comprehensive pyrolysis oil testing in locations around the world. This strategic move underscores Intertek’s commitment to supporting the circular economy and advancing sustainable practices across the energy and commodities value chain.
With growing regulatory pressures such as the European Green Deal, EU Directives on waste and single-use plastics, and the UK Plastics Packaging Tax, companies worldwide are increasingly seeking innovative solutions to reduce waste and enhance sustainability. Intertek Caleb Brett’s expanded services will help businesses meet these regulatory requirements, reduce their environmental footprint, and develop sustainable, high-performing products.
Pyrolysis oil, generated from the conversion of plastics, end-of-life tyres, and biomass, is becoming an essential intermediary in the circular plastic economy and represents a vital alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, its inconsistent composition and quality present obstacles to widespread commercial adoption.
Intertek’s pyrolysis oil testing services are crucial in ensuring that this biofuel meets stringent standards for safety, performance, and environmental compliance. By assessing the physical and chemical properties of pyrolysis oil—such as carbon content, contaminants, and energy potential—Intertek Caleb Brett enables businesses to optimise their feedstock usage while fostering innovation in sustainable energy development. With Intertek’s expanded testing capabilities, producers can also validate the quality and performance of their pyrolysis oil products through comprehensive analysis, including hydrocarbon composition, elemental speciation, stability testing, and more.
Ian Galloway, Executive Vice President of Intertek Caleb Brett, commented on the expansion: “Our enhanced testing services for pyrolysis oils reflects our commitment to leading the way in sustainability and innovation. As the demand for sustainable products and alternative fuels grows, Intertek Caleb Brett is dedicated to providing the critical support our clients need to navigate the complexities of this evolving market and achieve their sustainability goals.”
