The Philippines is enhancing its biofuel infrastructure following approval by the Department of Energy (DoE) for seven biofuel projects with combined investments of over P7 billion (€99 million).
The projects are a mixture of ethanol and biodiesel plants. The largest is a P3.4 billion ethanol facility to be undertaken by Cavite Biofuels Producers producing 34.4 million litres a year.
Chemrez Technologies will build a 75 million litre biodiesel facility in Bagumbayan, Quezon City with a total project cost of P650 million.
Another proposed bioethanol project is a 30 million litre facility to be constructed by San Carlos Bioenergy in Negros Oriental.
Golden Asian Oil International is establishing a 60 million litre biodiesel plant in Bagong Ilog, Pasig with an estimated investment requirement of P460 million.
A P404 million biodiesel plant will also be put up by Pure Essence International in Bagong Ilog, Pasig.
Leyte Agri Corp. of businessman Ruben Villanueva is establishing a nine-million litre bioethanol plant in Ipil, Ormoc City, for total project cost of P33.6 million.
Finally, Mt. Holly Industrial will erect a biodiesel facility with a 10 million litre capacity in Lucena, Quezon.
As of end-June this year, the DoE had registered 12 local biodiesel manufacturers, with a total annual capacity of 395.6 million litres.
There are about 20 applications for ethanol projects worth P4 billion lodged at the Philippines’ National Biofuels Board (NBB).
