1. Executive Summary<\/h1>\n\n

\nGlobal data center energy demand is growing rapidly and has become a core issue in energy security,\ncarbon emissions, and sustainable governance. At the same time, waste tires are among the most\ndifficult solid wastes to manage, with more than 2 billion tires generated every year, placing\nenormous pressure on the environment.\n<\/p>\n\n

\nAOT\u2019s low-temperature pyrolysis technology provides a cross-industry integrated solution:\nconverting waste tires into pyrolysis oil to supply power for data centers, forming a complete\ncircular economy loop.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Integrated model: Data Centers \u00d7 Waste Tires \u00d7 Distributed Energy \u00d7 ESG<\/li>\n
  • Energy conversion models for 100 \/ 135 \/ 200 MW data centers<\/li>\n
  • Carbon credits (AEC + ERC + efficiency-based) that are quantifiable, auditable, and monetizable<\/li>\n
  • For 200 MW: 3.16\u20133.61 million tons CO\u2082e reduction per year<\/li>\n
  • For 100 MW: 39\u201366 million waste tires processed per year<\/li>\n
  • Creation of 2,000\u20133,000 green jobs per project<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    \n\n

    2. Global Context<\/h1>\n\n

    2.1 Rapid Growth of Data Center Energy Demand<\/h2>\n\n

    \nData centers currently consume about 3\u20134% of global electricity, and this share may rise to 8% by 2030.\nAI, cloud computing, HPC, and large-scale model training are driving data centers to become the\nfastest-growing load in the global energy system.\n<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Single large data center capacity: 100\u2013300 MW<\/li>\n
    • Annual electricity consumption: 1\u20132 TWh<\/li>\n
    • Power reliability: Tier IV (99.995%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      \nTraditional grids can no longer fully support the growth of data centers, pushing the industry to seek:\ndistributed energy, on-site generation, high-efficiency power technologies, and ESG solutions that\nare measurable and verifiable.\n<\/p>\n\n

      2.2 Global Waste Tire Crisis<\/h2>\n\n

      \nMore than 2 billion waste tires<\/strong> are generated worldwide every year. Due to their high elasticity,\nhigh calorific value, and resistance to degradation, they have become one of the most challenging\nsolid wastes to manage.\n<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Extremely high fire risk (stockpile fires can burn for weeks)<\/li>\n
      • Incineration emissions: about 2.9 tons CO\u2082e per ton of tires<\/li>\n
      • Breeding grounds for disease vectors (e.g., dengue, malaria)<\/li>\n
      • Widespread illegal dumping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        \nWaste tires have become a major challenge in global environmental governance.\n<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        3. AOT Low-Temperature Pyrolysis Technology<\/h1>\n\n

        3.1 Technical Principle<\/h2>\n\n

        \nAOT\u2019s low-temperature pyrolysis operates at 350\u2013450\u00b0C to decompose waste tires without combustion.\nAs a result:\n<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • No black smoke<\/li>\n
        • No odor<\/li>\n
        • No dioxins<\/li>\n
        • No NOx \/ SOx emissions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          \nThe process breaks carbon\u2013hydrogen bonds in the tire material and converts them into:\npyrolysis oil, syngas, recovered carbon black (rCB), and steel wire.\n<\/p>\n\n

          3.2 Product Yields<\/h2>\n\n
            \n
          • Pyrolysis oil: 40%<\/li>\n
          • Recovered carbon black (rCB): 35%<\/li>\n
          • Steel: 10\u201315%<\/li>\n
          • Syngas: 5\u201310% (for internal use)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            3.3 Technical Advantages<\/h2>\n\n
              \n
            • Low temperature, low pressure, high safety<\/li>\n
            • Modular design suitable for distributed deployment<\/li>\n
            • Can be deployed near data centers<\/li>\n
