Burning?

Please provide a backup.

I did not see any such claim and did wonder what the tech and process involved was.

Can you provide an answer?

Not all energy produced from carbon containing materials is via 'burning', eh - in fact pyrolysis which is JBI's present mode of conversion of plastics to fuel does NOT involve burning - the involvement of oxygen. Pyrolysis takes place in an oxygen free environment. There are very many ways to pyrolyse carbon containing substances. JBI does NOT have any monopoly on this technology even if he uses a secret catalyst. What is that catalyst, BTW, do you have any inkling?
