Making FUELS from PLASTIC
The Pyrolysis project represents the ultimate step in plastic circularity, converting the lowest-value, non-recyclable plastic fractions—such as films, multi-layer sachets, and contaminated materials—into a high-demand, high-quality liquid fuel: Pyrolysis Oil.
Locating this industrial process in Albay, Philippines, is a strategic necessity. It provides a local, renewable energy source for the Bicol region, enhances local energy security, and decisively tackles the hard-to-process plastics that threaten the region's vital coastal ecosystems.
The Process: Thermal Conversion of Waste-to-Energy
The Process: From Waste to High-Value Resource
Pyrolysis is the chemical decomposition of organic materials by heating them to high temperatures (typically 350∘C to 550∘C) in the absence of oxygen.
-
Complete Plastic Diversion
This technology handles the final, non-recyclable 10-20% of plastics (multi-layered packaging, soiled film) that traditional recycling cannot process, ensuring a true zero-plastic-leakage strategy.
Marine Ecosystem Defense
By guaranteeing an economic market for all collected plastic waste, we prevent these low-value materials from ever reaching the coastal areas and marine parks of the Bicol region.
Fossil Fuel Substitution
Using Pyrolysis Oil (a biogenic-carbon fuel source) locally displaces the need for imported, high-carbon diesel, significantly reducing the region’s CO2 emissions.
-
Local Fuel Production
Pyrolysis establishes a domestic, stable, and locally controlled source of industrial fuel, reducing Albay's dependence on fluctuating international oil markets.
Cost Savings for Industry
Local industries (especially agriculture and fisheries) gain access to a competitively priced, sustainable fuel, lowering operating costs and enhancing regional competitiveness.
High-Skilled Green Jobs
We create technical employment opportunities in the operation, maintenance, and chemistry of the Pyrolysis reactor, fostering a new generation of green energy professionals in Albay.
-
New Income Stream
The project provides a market and stable price for previously worthless plastic waste, increasing the income potential for informal waste workers across the Bicol region.
Disaster Resilience
As Albay is prone to natural disasters, locally produced fuel enhances energy independence, ensuring essential services and transportation can function even if external supply lines are disrupted.
Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)
We are committed to training women in technical and engineering roles required for reactor operation, promoting D&I in a traditionally male-dominated energy sector.
-
We prioritize the recruitment and training of women in leadership and operational roles, driving gender equality and creating new economic pathways for women in the waste sector.
-
Low-value plastics are collected, shredded, and dried to remove residual moisture.
-
The plastic is fed into an air-tight reactor and heated. The plastic vaporizes and breaks down into hydrocarbon chains.
-
The hot gas vapors are cooled rapidly in a condensing unit.
-
Non-condensable gases are collected (often used to fuel the reactor itself), and solid carbon black is collected
The primary output, Pyrolysis Oil, is an immediate, cost-effective substitute for traditional fossil fuels. It can be used directly in generators, industrial boilers, and as bunker fuel for local maritime transport and fishing fleets, establishing a vital local energy value chain.
