I believe all those tires will be a windfall one day. I have an idea that
when they solve solubilization of coal problem (or dustification or
whatever), tires will follow shortly thereafter.
Both have sulfur problems, tires of course worse than coal, but sheeit, the
sulfur reclamation, which is already done in power plants, would solve the
universe's requirement for H2SO4.



It's already there. The cement plant a mile away from me (largest in the UK,
second largest in Europe) now uses shredded tyres as part of it's fuel intake.
Lower sulphur than coal or petroleum-coke. Next stage is to use dried,
shredded landfill waste. I'm all for it, Cement kilns are probably the
cleanest incinerators on the planet due to the high temperatures and long
residence times.
