Tire Pyrolysis

In Sardinia, the Re-Tyre CO₂ project is pioneering a new path forward by turning end-of-life tyres into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reducing emissions and showcasing the power of circular innovation in Italy’s green economy. The Sardinian Re-Tyre CO2 project has been awarded European Innovation Funding to build a pyrolysis plant in Cagliari.

Saras SPA Raffinerie Sarde coordinates the Re-Tyre CO2 project. Saras SPA is a company involved in refining and renewable energy. Raffinerie Sarde is the company’s oil processing plant in Sardinia with a 15 million tonnes annual capacity.

The European Innovation Fund has awarded the company 9,309,027 Euros. The funding is for a period of two years, and production is anticipated to commence in 2029.

The new plant will be designed to create sustainable aviation fuel from recycled tyres.

Based in Cagliari, Sardinia, the plant is expected to process approximately 10,000 tonnes of tyres per year once it is in production.

Italian regulations have been so strict that tyre pyrolysis has not made significant inroads in the country. This may be a sign that the door is opening to pyrolysis, creating an opportunity to recoup the markets lost due to the ban on crumb rubber infill.

The capacity of this project will not significantly impact the overall picture, but it is opening a door, and it may be the prelude to much larger projects in the future.
