MICROWAVES TURN CAR PARTS TO OIL
|
It sounds too good to be true: a machine that takes in trash and spits out oil and natural gas. But that’s exactly what GRC’s Hawk 10 recycler can do—and it produces zero emissions and 18 times the energy it consumes. Every year, junkyards in the U.S. bury about five million tons of hydrocarbon-based auto waste, including foam, rubber and plastics. But put that refuse into a Hawk machine instead, and precisely tuned microwaves break its molecular chains, releasing the hydrocarbons within to extract oil and gas and reduce the waste’s volume by up to 65 percent. The first Hawk starts making natural gas in Long Island, New York, this February. $5.1 million; globalresourcecorp.com
