The need for viable fuel is growing day by day, be it for the power plants, use in automobiles, grain dryers, generators or any other application. But the continuous dependence and use of these fossil fuels has increased the load on the reserves. It has been predicted that by the year 2050 the shell reserves would reach a critical low and when they get exhausted it may hinder the daily way of life. To tackle this problem alternative fuel such as bio-diesel is being tested for sustainability but there still is a need for more and more fuel looking at the way we are developing ahead. The other problem we are currently facing is Plastic Pollution. Since the advent of plastic it has found an inseparable part in human life but due to its properties I has been problematic for some time. Plastic cannot degrade as it is a non-organic product and due to this reason it has accumulated over the years. The rate at which we use plastics and dispose them in an unhealthy way, the future streets may be covered with layers of plastic. Plastic is also harming the fauna as many animals tend to consume polythene bags or solid plastics which results in choking and death. Hence it is necessary to find a way to safely dispose plastic waste while also looking for a way to create alternative fuels. The process of Plastic Pyrolysis comes handy when we need to satisfy these aims. In this study a review of Plastic Pyrolysis processes has been carried out which can be used to generate fuel to satisfy human needs.

Keywords- Plastic, Pyrolysis, LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), Alternative Fuel, Compression Ignition Engines, Diesel Fuel.
