	*Can be used in special engines/burners, or be processed into [[Biodiesel]]		*Can be used in special engines/burners, or be processed into [[Biodiesel]]

			==== [[Pyrolysis Gasoline]] ====
			*Easier to use directly that [[Pyrolysis Oil]] , But it probably requires the usage of a more "controlled" feedstock like cleaned plastic [[RDF]] rather than [[Biomass]]
			*However given the ammount of wrappers/shrink wrap that are often already "non-recyclable", this should be a sensible option
