The opportunity to supply fuel and provide energy in the Philippines has been enhanced by the privatization of NAPCOR, the nation’s main supplier of electricity. This leaves a void in the marketplace for supplying electricity to off grid locations, especially to many of the 7000 Philippine islands where population continues to rise, with the availability of electricity is reduced to less than 8 hours a day in some locations. Clenergen’s first 1MW gasification pilot project with National Power Corporation (NPC) could lead to multiple installations in similar locations where diesel generators are the only source of electricity.

Privatization also impacts the major transmission companies who now have to engage in power generation. Clenergen intends to install up to 40MW/h of sustainable electricity for a major distribution company.

The captive end user marketplace is dominated by the large multi-national mining companies. Clenergen intends to install up to 34MW/h of sustainable electricity for a major Nickel mining company that has multiple mining sites across the Philippines.

The production of wood chips from inter cropping Beema Bamboo with coconut plantations offers Clenergen the opportunity to evolve into a major fuel supplier in the SE Asia marketplace. It is estimated that over 5 million acres of land occupy coconut plantations. Energy Crops offer coconut farmers a means of earning a value added income from unused land. As the global demand for wood pellets escalates due to coal power plants being required co-fire with pellets in order to lower emissions, the Philippines is ideally positioned both geographically, climatically and structurally, to penetrate this marketplace. Due to the cold enters in most industrialized nations such as Japan, there are no viable local sources of biomass to meet government requirements for renewable energy.
