We’d like to thank our supporters for their patience—it's been a while since our last blog, but with good reason. Due to leadership changes at the National Development Company (NDC), the release of public funding has faced extended delays. In response, Cyclion has focused its resources on securing privately funded projects and advancing our research—and the results have been substantial.

Recent Highlights

Global Backing Secured

A major international corporation is funding the development of a 10 Tonne Per Day (TPD) Cyclion plant in Manila, targeted for completion by year-end. Backed by a Big Four–validated financial model, this project confirms our strong investment potential.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Breakthrough

After two years of collaboration with Queensland University of Technology, we’ve successfully demonstrated that Cyclion’s technology can produce not just sustainable diesel, but also Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Expanded Research Network

Our R&D capabilities have grown with:

  • Australian Research Council funding (managed by Monash University)
  • New partnerships with James Cook University and the University of the Philippines

Regional Pipeline Building

Beyond the 10TPD Manila project, we're advancing additional large-scale SAF projects in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand—two of which have already cleared technical due diligence with petrochemical partners.

What’s Next?

To keep the momentum going, we’re preparing for a second equity crowdfunding (CSF) campaign on Birchal. Planned uses include:

  • Advanced research into converting waste CO₂ and wastewater into algae-based food and potentially methanol
  • Deployment of a 1TPD demo plant at James Cook University, validating our ability to process e-waste, tyres, and medical waste—while expanding our Australian footprint

Cyclion remains committed to delivering an eco-friendly solution to the global waste crisis through transformative technology. These latest developments are major milestones on that journey.
