Basic Energy plans cassava ethanol plant
Filipino developer Basic Energy has commissioned two Thai consultants to conduct feasibility studies into a proposed cassava ethanol plant.
Basic Energy signed contracts on 30 July with the Alternative Energy Institute of Thailand and Ethanol Thai to examine the company’s proposal to build a 100 million litre a year bioethanol plant in the Filipino province of Batangas.
Basic Energy subsidiary Basic Ecomarket Farms operates a 20,000 hectare cassava plantation. The parent company plans to use dried cassava chips from this plantation as feedstock.
Basic Energy hopes to have the plant operating commercially by 2011.
