[SIZE=2]PHILIPPINE National Oil Co.- Energy Development Corp. (PNOC-EDC) will set up a coco-biodiesel plant in its Southern Negros Geothermal Production (SNGP) to supply the alternative fuel needs of its vehicle fleet and eventually of Dumaguete City’s own requirements. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]“This year, we will put up a CME plant in our SBGP Field to supply the requirements of its vehicles. As a livelihood option, we have discussed with the provincial government of Negros Oriental the possibility of scaling up this biofuel project to benefit Dumaguete City and nearby urban centers,” said Paul Aquino, PNOC-EDC president, in a presentation before the League of Corporate Foundation’s CSR Expo 2007.

[SIZE=2]The plant was successfully developed by the company’s energy research and development department in 2004. It is the first small-scale coco methyl ester production plant in the country and has a capacity to produce about 640 liters of the commodity every month.[/SIZE]
This is good stuff being mentioned here. kasi di na gagamit ng fossil fuel dito in producing biofuel, in which na sinabi sa BBC last week na in order to produce 1L of biofuel 0.75L ng fossil fuel is need to proccess corn..we just hope that it will really materialized. ang daming corrupt kasi.(gaya ng case ng Bataan Nuke facility)
