APPLICATION OF WASTE PLASTIC OIL IN THE MODERN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Abstract

During the burning of fossil fuels, harmful gases are emitted that contribute to global warming and air pollution. This phenomenon has serious consequences for the environment and human health. The development of technologies for more efficient production and use of alternative fuels is crucial for the future of energy and environmental protection. Alternative fuels represent an increasingly important part of global energy solutions. In addition to biogas, biodiesel, bioethanol and hydrogen, plastic oil represents an interesting alternative to fossil fuels.This oil is obtained by recycling used vegetable oils or fats, as well as plastics that are processed into liquid fuel. It is used as a substitute for fuel in some diesel engines, and can also be used as a heating fuel. The use of plastic oil in the automotive industry can reduce CO2 emissions due to a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil fuels. However, there are concerns about the emission of other harmful gases and particles during combustion, so adequate control of this process is needed to reduce potential negative impacts on the environment. This paper presents an overview of the use and achievements in the development of plastic oil in the modern automotive industry.
