This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Energy Systems at the Interna-tional Hellenic University. The aim of this Thesis is to analyze the waste vehicle tires’ issue in European Union and Greece. The pyrolysis and gasification methods will be discussed more extensively, in order to examine through SWOT analysis the possibility of constructing a pyrolysis – gasification plant in our country.
Apart from that, the bibliographic research examines the relevant legislative frame-works in European Union and Greece and highlights the differences in the policy im-plementation between leading countries, such as USA, Japan and Europe in general.
Finally, in order to achieve a complete overview upon this environmental issue, all the recycling and treatment methods will be presented and discussed.
At this point I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my Thesis Advisor, Mrs. A. Zambaniotou, Associate Professor in Department of Chemical Engineering AUTH, because without her guidance, endless patience and encouragement, this Thesis could not have been accomplished.
I would also like to thank Mr. Nikos Antoniou, PhD student of Department of Chemical Engineering AUTH, for his really valuable suggestions and comments that he provided me during the last four months.
Finally, I would like to thank my family, who helped me for this Thesis’ completion.
