While testing they have claimed that oil made from recycled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/Car-Tyres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tyres<\/a> fuelled a test van (2017 Hyundai iLOAD model) when mixed with diesel. This fuel would also help eradicate the harmful waste (old and retired tyres) from the environment. This new research means that using old tyres for generating fuel could help resolve the global stockpiling of 1.5 billion tonnes of used tyres every year. Australian alone dump approximately 55 million tyres each year. It is also observed that this fuel combination did not impact the test van\u2019s power and displayed the similar level of emissions as lab tests, researchers told the Australian Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>The oil extraction technology from the tyres is developed by the New South Wales based company Green Distillation Technologies (GDT). Tests were done by Deakin University&#8217;s Engineering Lecturer Dr Tim Bodisco and QUT Biofuel Engine Research Facility Director, Professor Richard Brown. According to Professor Brown, mining companies have shown interest in this new technology as a means to decrease the stockpile of large tyres from vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Bailey, Chief Executive of GDT told the media that his company is focused on searching sustainable and economical solutions related to old and retired tyres. As a next step to improve tyre oil, the researchers would look to refine or upgrade it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/category\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
