Executive summary

The research teams in ………. are seeking a grant to implement a novel technology to recover
energy from plastic wastes with the objective of producing clean liquid fuels from plastic waste
by using pyrolysis (thermal depolymerization).This innovative plastic-to-liquid fuels technology
reduces the amount of waste to be sent to the landfill, recovers energy from plastic waste, helps
to generate income from the selling of the produced liquid fuel and solves the energy problems
of the society. The first phase of the project will be completed by designing, manufacturing and
testing the pilot machine within four months. Funding in the amount of …… Birr is requested for
staffs and to purchase the required materials as well as to manufacture the machine.
