The invention relates to a method for producing coal, asphalt, liquid hydrocarbon, organic acids, methane gas and/or hydrogen from a waste material comprising: a) providing a waste material; b) subjecting the waste material to irradiation with low frequency macro waves, with a wavelength of between 700 nm and 1 mm, whereby the temperature is between 2050 C and 9000 C and the pressure is between 1.0 bar and 19.0 bar, thereby producing coal; c) optionally subjecting the residual materials in gaseous state from step b) to a physicochemical reaction in the presence of a solid metal identified as DPP B102, whereby the temperature is between 1800 C and 5000 C and the pressure is between 0.98 bar and 5.5 bar, thereby producing asphalt; d) optionally subjecting the residual materials in gaseous state from step b) or c) to a physicochemical reaction and/or condensation, whereby the temperature is between 1500 C and 7500 C and the pressure is between 0.96 bar and 200 bar, thereby producing liquid hydrocarbon; e) optionally subjecting the residual materials in gaseous state from step b), c) or d) to a physicochemical reaction in the presence of a solid metal identified as DPP D 102, whereby the temperature is between 500 C and 1500 C and the pressure is between 0.95 bar and 1.5 bar, thereby producing organic acids; f) optionally subjecting the residual materials in gaseous state from step b), c) d) or e) to an absorbent wash and cooling at room temperature, thereby producing methane gas and hydrogen, wherein said waste material has a composition with a carbon content of 9-85%, a hydrogen content of 1-15% and an oxygen content of 0-65% based on dry weight of the material. The invention further relates to products obtainable by such methods and an apparatus for performing such methods.
