Anao —
the center of a
clean future
A new plant that turns hard-to-recycle plastic into clean fuel — built here in Anao, with local hiring and community partnership at its heart.
What are we proposing to build in Anao
Circula Alternative Fuels Luzon, Inc. is seeking to build a plastic-to-fuel plant in Barangay San Jose North, Anao. The plant will take plastic that cannot be recycled in the normal way — like sachets and soft wrappers — and convert it into high-quality fuel instead of letting it end up in landfills or waterways.
Location
2nd Floor, RMM Building, San Francisco East, Anao-Moncada Road, Anao, Tarlac, 2130.
Timeline
We are currently advancing the project to shovel-ready status through 2026, with first commercial production targeted for Q1 2028.
Who we are
Circula Alternative Fuels Luzon, Inc. is the Philippine company delivering the Anao plant. Our parent company is Circula Energy.
Pyrolysis, explained simply
We heat plastic inside a sealed tank with no oxygen. Because there is no oxygen, nothing burns — the plastic breaks down into a gas, which cools into a clean liquid fuel. The entire process happens inside a closed system.
1. Plastic arrives
Cleaned, sorted plastic is delivered by suppliers — not mixed municipal garbage.
2. Heated without oxygen
In a sealed tank, plastic is heated until it breaks down into gas. No flame, no smoke.
3. Cooled into fuel
The gas cools and condenses into a clean liquid fuel that can power vehicles and machines.
What it means for the community
We are committed to being a local partner, not just a project that passes through. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Local jobs first
Priority hiring for residents of Anao and San Jose North — for both construction and daily operations.
New tax revenue
Additional funding for the LGU to support local health, education, and infrastructure projects.
Business growth
We source local services and products — from catering and maintenance to plant materials — supporting local small businesses.
Low water use
20 cubic meters per day — 80% less than irrigating a single hectare of rice. Nothing is released into waterways.
Quiet operation
About as loud as a rice mill or a large aircon. Sound stays inside the plant's boundaries.
Managed traffic
Around three truck movements per hour, daytime only, on a planned schedule — not all at once.
