Pyrolysis Oil Market: Growing Investment in Waste-to-Fuel Technologies to Accelerate Industry Expansion

Market Estimation, Growth Drivers and Opportunities

The global Pyrolysis Oil Market was valued at USD 375.48 million in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2026 to 2032, reaching nearly USD 500.8 million by 2032. Pyrolysis oil is produced through the thermal decomposition of organic materials, including waste plastics, rubber and biomass, in an oxygen-free environment. Its growing importance as an alternative fuel and industrial feedstock is creating new opportunities across energy, transportation, manufacturing and petrochemical industries.

Increasing demand for renewable energy, rising plastic waste generation and the need for more effective waste-management solutions are among the major factors supporting market growth. Pyrolysis converts difficult-to-recycle materials into valuable liquid products that can be used for industrial heating, power generation and further processing into fuels and chemicals. This approach supports circular-economy objectives by recovering resources from waste streams and reducing dependence on conventional petroleum-based feedstocks.

The market is also benefiting from technological improvements in catalytic pyrolysis, reactor efficiency and oil upgrading. These developments can improve liquid yields, product quality and process economics. Growing interest in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel and circular plastics presents additional opportunities. However, inconsistent oil quality, high production costs, limited infrastructure and competition from established fossil fuels remain important challenges.

US Market Trends and Investment in 2025

The United States witnessed notable investment and commercial partnerships in advanced recycling and pyrolysis technology during 2025. In March, BASF signed a long-term supply agreement with Braven Environmental for pyrolysis oil produced from mixed plastic waste. The material is intended to partially replace fossil feedstocks at BASF's petrochemical facility in Port Arthur, Texas, supporting its ChemCycling initiative. In February, Resynergi secured USD 18 million in Series B extension funding to advance its modular, continuous microwave-assisted pyrolysis technology and commission its first commercial-scale facility. Another important development involved Ensyn's renewable fuel oil expansion plans in Maine, where its Rapid Thermal Processing technology is designed to convert forestry residues into renewable fuel oil. These investments highlight growing interest in converting waste and biomass into commercially useful fuels and chemical feedstocks.

Market Segmentation

The Pyrolysis Oil Market is segmented by feedstock type into plastics-derived, rubber-derived and biomass-derived products. Technology categories include fast pyrolysis, slow pyrolysis and flash pyrolysis. End-user industries comprise energy and power, automotive and transportation, industrial manufacturing, petrochemicals and refineries, and others.

The publicly available market report identifies these categories but does not disclose the largest-share segment or its percentage. Therefore, no segment is assigned a leading market position without supporting figures.

Competitive Analysis

The market report identifies several important participants, including Ensyn Corporation, BTG Biomass Technology Group, Anellotech, Klean Industries Inc. and Agilyx Corporation. Their technology development and strategic partnerships illustrate the industry's growing focus on commercial scalability.

Ensyn Corporation: Ensyn uses its proprietary Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) technology to convert forestry and agricultural residues into fast-pyrolysis bio-oil. Its expansion plans in Maine and Canada demonstrate efforts to increase renewable fuel production capacity and serve industrial heating and refinery markets.

BTG Biomass Technology Group: BTG Bioliquids combines fast-pyrolysis technology with biomass conversion expertise. In September 2025, it partnered with NanosTech to develop an integrated solution for upgrading bio-oil into refinery-ready feedstocks for sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel and marine fuels.

Anellotech: The company is developing its Plas-TCat technology for converting mixed plastic waste into valuable chemical building blocks. In July 2025, Anellotech and strategic partner R Plus Japan announced the commercialization phase of the technology, supporting the development of circular chemical feedstocks.

Klean Industries Inc.: Klean focuses on converting end-of-life tires and non-recycled plastics into valuable products, including pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black. In October 2025, it entered a strategic alliance with KBR to support the global deployment of its TyreNova tire-pyrolysis technology.

Agilyx Corporation: Agilyx works on advanced plastic recycling and feedstock development. In March 2025, it launched Plastyx, a joint venture designed to source and supply consistent plastic feedstock for Europe's advanced recycling industry. This approach addresses one of the key challenges facing large-scale pyrolysis operations: reliable waste-material availability.

The report does not publish individual market shares or a verified ranking of these companies by revenue. They are therefore presented as notable competitors rather than as a ranked market-share list.
