Bolder Industries' end-of-life tire pyrolysis project selected for EU net-zero fund support
The European Rubber Journal reports that the EU has chosen Bolder Industries’ end-of-life tire (ELT) pyrolysis project as one of 85 initiatives to receive grants under its €4.8-billion net-zero fund, supporting the deployment of clean technologies across Europe. The project, known as NextGen thermal tire re-use, is part of the Port of Antwerp’s NextGen District and aligns with the EU’s goals to reduce emissions and advance industrial decarbonization.
Scheduled to begin operations by 2030, the selected projects are anticipated to cut about 476 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions within their first decade, bolstering European manufacturing capacity and clean-tech resilience in challenging sectors.
Bolder’s Antwerp plant, modeled on its facilities in Missouri and Indiana, will feature three reactors, with the capacity to process over 3 million ELTs annually, yielding recovered carbon black and pyrolysis oil.
