Table 6
Thermal depolymerization vs. catalytic depolymerization.
| Thermal depolymerization | Catalytic depolymerization |
| Less liquid fuel produced | More liquid fuel produced | Higher yield of gases and char | Lower yield of gases and char | Generally requires more energy | Less energy required | Gases produced are channeled back to the reactor to boost energy | Catalysts used are very expensive, accounts for 65% of production cost |
