One method to evaluate the energy behavior is energy and exergy analysis. These analyses applied to waste-to-energy conversion technologies provide the information on operating conditions, facilitating energy optimization processes. In this study, an energetic and exergy analysis was used on the thermochemical degradation process of polypropylene in a tubular reactor at 600 °C with a speed of 15 °C min^-1. The experimental data used in this work were taken from the study by Parku et al. (2020). According to the results, energy efficiencies of up to 43% and exergy efficiencies of 38% were achieved, and it was also observed, according to what was reported, that the products obtained from pyrolysis contain a high calorific value and can be used as alternative fuels.
