Pyrum Innovations AG plans to build a Pyrum pyrolysis plant in the Czech Republic together with a Czech energy group. A consulting contract has been signed with a subsidiary of the group to prepare the permit for the construction of the tyre recycling plant and to submit the building application. The new plant with a capacity of 20,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres (ELT) per year is being built in the Czech border region with Germany and is scheduled to start operations in 2025.

The Czech partner, which is active in the field of energy and environmental services, already operates a power plant on the site and therefore has a gas turbine that will also generate electricity from the pyrolysis gas in the future.
