As far as I can tell from external sources, Thermal Depolymerization (TDP) is the general term for the class of processes this article covers, and "Thermal Conversion Process" (TCP) is a proprietary name used by Changing World Technologies and related companies (including Renewable Energy Solutions a.k.a. RES-Energy, their joint venture with ConAgra/Butterball) for their particular version of TDP. I think this article often mistakenly uses the terms interchangeably. Also, in contrast to what the "Similar Processes" section says, TCP is not limited to manure and vegetable waste; the Carthage plant uses it for turkey offal, and the CWT website says it can be used to convert tires, plastics, etc.
Sorry to complain and not fix, I just feel like a lot of changes would be needed to fix this, and I'm not familiar enough with the subject to feel like I can do a good job of fixing these errors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 17.206.24.191 ( talk • contribs)
Under Limitations ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization#Limitations), it states: "However, the methane in the feedstock is recovered and burned to heat the water that is an essential part of the process." Methane is only one of the gases produced and is only a small part of that. The gas is more like producer gas (also known as 'Town Gas').
Yours sincerely

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified 3 external links on Thermal depolymerization. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The result of the move request was: Not moved per WP:COMMONNAME, page content can simply be added to reflect both outcomes of thermal depolymerization. ( non-admin closure) Project Osprey ( talk) 11:09, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Thermal depolymerization →
Plastic pyrolysis – Depolymerisation would convert the polymer back into
monomers, which can then be recycled back into fresh plastic. In
plastic recycling this is called chemical recycling. What this article is describing is the conversion of waste plastic into a fuel, like in
pyrolysis oil. A re-name would allow better wiki-linking between the various plastic recycling/degradation/waste pages
