1. A method of utilizing a pyrolysis recycle content allotment, said method comprising:
a. a fatty alcohol manufacturer obtaining an alpha olefin composition from a supplier and either:
i. from said supplier, also obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment or
ii. from any person or entity, obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment without a supply of an alpha olefin composition from said person or entity transferring said pyrolysis recycle content allotment; and
b. said fatty alcohol manufacturer making a fatty alcohol composition (“fatty alcohol”) from any alpha olefin composition obtained from any source; and
c. either:
i. applying said pyrolysis recycle content allotment to fatty alcohol made by the supply of alpha olefin obtained in step (a); or
ii. applying said pyrolysis recycle content allotment to fatty alcohol not made by the supply of alpha olefin obtained in step (a), or
iii. depositing said pyrolysis recycle content allotment into a recycle inventory from which is deducted a recycle content value and applying at least a portion of said value to:
1. fatty alcohol to thereby obtain r-fatty alcohol, or
2. to a compound or composition other than fatty alcohol, or
3. both;
whether or not the recycle content value is obtained from a pyrolysis recycle content allotment obtained in step a(i) or step a(ii).
