The disposition of tires is a significant problem in Pennsylvania. Although substantial progress has been made in recent years by PaDEP in dealing with the steady accumulation of tire piles across the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania and surrounding states continue to generate and accumulate millions of scrap tires each year. Some of these tires are recycled in various ways, but tire accumulation continues to pose a threat to public safety and public health. In fact, discarded tires are a main breeding ground for mosquitoes which potentially carry West Nile virus.

Developing new uses for waste tires, like the CRE Plant, are critical for the success of the initiative to reduce and eliminate these piles. As a much better alternative to stockpiling or land-filling waste tires, the CRE Plant will convert tires into renewable energy with the low emissions characteristic of a circulating fluidized bed system. The reduction in greenhouse gases produced will be in excess of 300 cubic meters of total gases per ton of tires consumed as fuel, with all of the methane and all but 24 cubic meters of the CO2 eliminated.

If you are a large power user and employer in the Crawford area and wish to purchase power from CRE, please contact us with your requirements. We will have our power experts respond to your inquiry.
