GHG Emissions for Pyrolysis Oil Prduction, (A) energy-based allocation, (B) market-based allocation. For pyrolysis oil, conversion emissions are the main contributors to total GHG emissions in all facility groups. The energy requirements in pioneer plants are higher than those of the Nth-plants and the highest-capacity facility. This is particularly important because it highlights the impact that economies of scale have in reducing the GHG emissions for the production of pyrolysis oil, where emission reductions of 19% and 45% are achieved for the Nth-plant (50 KTA) and highest-capacity facilities, respectively.
