The main purpose of the KDV [Katalytische Drucklose Verölung – catalytic low pressure depolymerisation] process is to protect the atmosphere. Rather than gases, the process produces a liquid that can be stored without contact with the atmosphere. This was achieved when oil was created in nature, and it seems to be the only way to keep CO2 separate from the atmosphere. The direct sequestration of CO2 underground is not only limited with respect to the amount that can be stored but also presents a deadly hazard, as CO2 escaping in an uncontrolled way could then spread over the planet like a deadly pall.

The potential applications of this KDV process in environmental technology include:

- Waste disposal technology
- Use of agricultural waste
- Reduction of CO2 when planting steppes and, later on, deserts
- Industrial waste disposal
- Better use of oil, oil sands, tar oilfields, peat, heavy oil sources and lignite
  and
- the elimination of refuse storage sites, including bitumen lakes and industrial and commercial refuse landfills.

It is difficult to accurately estimate the full potential of this technology , but already today steps can be taken to realize that potential, overcoming other agendas.

Examples:

The company Covanta has ordered within the framework of a long-term contract 1,350 KDV 500 plants This will enable the company to produce 5.4 million t/a diesel oil from approximately 8% of the total US American waste.

Malaysia produces 17 million t/a palm oil. The 100 million t/a residual material generated by the 1,200 oil presses can produce via 1,200 KDV plants approx. 23 million t/a diesel oil.

The company NandanAlphakat of Hyderabad plans to plant approximately 5 areas, each of one million ha, with Jatropha on infertile steppes with the aim of reducing desert areas as well. 6 million t/a diesel oil will be produced per million ha. After deducting energy use this yields five million t/a per million ha.

Various heavy oil sources shall be used directly with 2,000 KDV and 5,000 KDV type plants, with the "refinery" producing diesel oil directly at the mineral oil sources.

Instead of gas burners and pyrolysis new refineries will be planned to use reaction turbines and catalytic depolymerisation and to apply organic additives. The gain in additional diesel oil via this technology without increasing mineral oil production has been estimated at over 700 million t/a.

From these examples, which only cover some of the applications, the considerable potential can be recognised. Moreover the fact that the plant is not only flexible, i.e. it can work today with Jatropha and tomorrow with household waste, but is independent of external energy sources and water and can be operated decentrally wherever it is needed, is a strong argument for using KDV technology.

The decentral operation yields moreover significant reductions in energy and burden on the environment as a result of the reduction in transport and transport losses.

The responsibility for the realisation of the KDV technology should be transferred to a non-profit making organisation that is in a position to tackle problems using the financial surplus arising from the use of the technology:

1. Removal of the dioxin sources by use of the waste as material and by  depolymerisation.
2. Planting the steppes with the aim of planting the deserts and
hence
3. creating the possibility of providing satisfactory living conditions outside towns and cities.
4. Equitable distribution of the many million jobs created in this way via an equitable distribution of the profits.
5. Increasing social harmony by providing employment with a sales guarantee.

At the end of the day, depolymerisation technology should also be an alternative to the shortage of resources experienced today. Why should a vehicle only use 1 l/100 km fuel if a higher consumption yields work and harmony outside the cities for the workforce of the diesel oil manufacturer?
