Abstract: Described herein are plastic-to-fuel production systems and methods that provide a solution to the challenge of proper management of plastic waste. The disclosed techniques convert un-recycled plastic waste into ready-to-use, sustainably produced fuels in a concurrent process without the assistance of any catalyst materials. A Non-Catalytic Reformation System (NCR) system produces sustainable fuels such as diesel and gasoline, and other commodities such as paraffin and heavy diesel as well as a process gas (LPG) that is used to fuel the heaters serving the reformers in the NCR system to drive the process. By transforming waste into valuable resources, the techniques contribute to a circular economy where nothing may go to waste. This eco-friendly approach may also reduce reliance on fossil fuels by producing ready to use, sustainable fuels from plastic waste rather than fossil fuels and helps mitigate the environmental impact of plastic waste.

Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving customer payment details and generating outgoing payment details on-demand. A network-connected interface can receive customer payment details for payment of an incoming amount. A data store can store a plurality of transaction tracking records including a unique key code and an allocatable amount. A payment gateway can receive authorization data for payment of the incoming amount. An outgoing payment generator can respond to an outgoing payment request comprising an offered key code and an outgoing payment amount if the offered key code matches an existing transaction tracking record in the data store. Outgoing payment details can be generated if the outgoing amount is less than or equal to the allocatable amount. Embodiments can route the transaction such that the customer payment details are passed through to the supplier. Embodiments can make routing and generation decisions based on transaction preferences.
