Hi Crispin According to Wikipedia, "Carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products such as FCC tar, coal tar, ethylene cracking tar, and a small amount from vegetable oil."

Dear Friends http://www.ewi.ca/aboutus/FAQ.htm near the bottom. They are pyrolysing tires for the steel and carbon black. They also produce light oil with 44 MJ/kg heat content. This might be a way to deal with old tires (hundreds of millions of them) while making carbon and a burnable oil. The origin of the carbon is about 1:2 natural (trees) and synthetic (crude oil) plus carbon black which I presume is made from coal.
