Abstract
This paper proposes a project to generate electricity from the pyrolysis of plastic and analyzes its economic viability in the industrial system. Initially, it proposed the necessary equipment, capacities, energy consumption, and all the necessary human resources for the operation of the enterprise. The energetic capacities of plastic were based on literature data. After data analysis, it was proved that the project is economically viable. Since the net present value is positive, and the internal rate of return is higher than the minimum attractiveness rate. The results indicate a payback period of 78 months, i.e., six years and six months, using the minimum attractiveness rate of 0.5\%. Besides, this investment has an internal rate of return of 1.1923\% per month, analyzing the investment time by ten years. Thus, this paper presents itself as an incentive for energy innovation and market expansion.
