Abstract

A hydrogen composition having a recycle content value is obtained by processing a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content hydrogen or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to a hydrogen composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by a hydrogen manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste plastics.

Claims (34)

1 - 29 . (canceled)

30 . A method of processing a pyrolysis recycle content cracker feed composition derived directly or indirectly from pyrolysis of a waste plastic (“pr-cracker feed”), a POX gasification recycle content cracker feed composition derived directly or indirectly from POX gasification of the waste plastic (“POXr-cracker feed”), and/or a solvolysis recycle content cracker feed composition derived directly or indirectly from solvolysis of the waste plastic (“sr-cracker feed”), the method comprising introducing a stream comprising at least a portion of the pr-cracker feed, POXr-cracker feed, and/or sr-cracker feed to a cracker facility from which a hydrogen-containing stream is withdrawn.

31 . A method of making a recycle content hydrogen composition (“r-hydrogen”), the method comprising processing a recycle content cracker feed composition, at least a portion of which is derived directly or indirectly from pyrolyzing, gasifying, and/or solvolyzing a waste plastic, to produce a hydrogen stream comprising r-hydrogen.

32 . A method of making a hydrogen composition comprising a hydrogen manufacturer or cracking facility operator, or one among its Family of Entities:

a. obtaining a cracker feed composition from a supplier and either:

i. from the supplier, also obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment, a POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or a solvolysis recycle content allotment, or

ii. from any person or entity, obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment, a POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or a solvolysis recycle content allotment without a supply of the cracker feed composition from the person or entity transferring the pyrolysis recycle content allotment, the POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or the solvolysis recycle content allotment; and

b. depositing at least a portion of the pyrolysis recycle content allotment, the POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or the solvolysis recycle content allotment obtained in step a(i) or step a(ii) into a recycle inventory; and

c. making hydrogen composition from any cracker feed composition obtained from any source.

33 . A recycle content hydrogen composition (“r-hydrogen”) obtained by claim 30 .

34 . recycle content hydrogen composition (“r-hydrogen”) obtained by claim 31 .

35 . A recycle content hydrogen composition (“r-hydrogen”) obtained by claim 32 .

36 . The method of claim 30 , wherein the r-cracker feed or r-hydrogen is derived directly or indirectly from r-pyoil and/or r-pyrolysis gas.

37 . The method of claim 31 , wherein the r-cracker feed or r-hydrogen is derived directly or indirectly from r-pyoil and/or r-pyrolysis gas.

38 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the r-cracker feed or r-hydrogen is derived directly or indirectly from r-pyoil and/or r-pyrolysis gas.

39 . The method of claim 30 , wherein the r-hydrogen is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

40 . The method of claim 31 , wherein the r-hydrogen is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

41 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the r-hydrogen is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

42 . The method of claim 30 , wherein at least a portion of said hydrogen composition is derived directly or indirectly from said pyrolysis of waste plastic to form r-pyoil and through cracking of said r-pyoil to thereby obtain an r-hydrogen composition.

43 . The method of claim 31 , wherein at least a portion of said hydrogen composition is derived directly or indirectly from said pyrolysis of waste plastic to form r-pyoil and through cracking of said r-pyoil to thereby obtain an r-hydrogen composition.

44 . The method of claim 32 , wherein at least a portion of said hydrogen composition is derived directly or indirectly from said pyrolysis of waste plastic to form r-pyoil and through cracking of said r-pyoil to thereby obtain an r-hydrogen composition.

45 . The method of claim 30 , wherein said allotments in said recycle inventory have their origin in methanolysis of waste plastic, from gasification of waste plastic, from mechanical recycling of waste plastic or metal recycling, from pyrolyzing waste plastic, or any combination thereof.

46 . The method of claim 30 , wherein said allotments in said recycle inventory have their origin in methanolysis of waste plastic, from gasification of waste plastic, from mechanical recycling of waste plastic or metal recycling, from pyrolyzing waste plastic, or any combination thereof.

47 . The method of claim 30 , wherein said allotments in said recycle inventory have their origin in methanolysis of waste plastic, from gasification of waste plastic, from mechanical recycling of waste plastic or metal recycling, from pyrolyzing waste plastic, or any combination thereof.

48 . The method of claim 31 , further comprising:

a. making a r-cracker feed from r-pyoil or r-pyrolysis gas; and

b. processing at least a portion of the r-cracker feed in a cracker facility to make hydrogen, and

c. applying a recycle content value to the hydrogen to make a r-hydrogen; and

d. optionally, also making a r-olefin by separating an olefin-containing stream.

49 . The method of claim 32 , further comprising:

a. making a r-cracker feed from r-pyoil or r-pyrolysis gas; and

b. processing at least a portion of the r-cracker feed in a cracker facility to make hydrogen, and

c. applying a recycle content value to the hydrogen to make a r-hydrogen; and

d. optionally, also making a r-olefin by separating an olefin-containing stream.
