Green house effect has been changing our way of life, areas that are suppose to have snow now doesn’t have it, areas that are desert is now flooded, areas that are suppose to have lots of water are now experiencing drought. We have to move now to reduce the effect of climate change in our world by reducing the use of conventional source of energy to renewable that has no effect to our environment.
Our government thru the department of energy has been aggressive in promoting for non conventional source of power generation to reduce the effect of climate change. Our company is now in the development of 4 types of renewable energy.
Development of biomass for power generation using animal waste. 2 areas presently under development in Silang, Cavite 200 kva and Binangonan, Rizal 500 kva. This type of power generation has 3 good purpose, it helps control the release of harmful methane gas to the atmosphere, the by-products is use for fertilizer and it generate power with its methane gas. Presently there are only 10% of the farms that generate its own power; there are still lots of opportunities for growth.
Development of bio fuel using jathropa , cassava and sweet sorghum as the feedstock in producing biofuel for commercial use. We will be planting 2000 hectares in Ilocos Norte and 5000 hectares in Lanao de Norte in cooperation with the provincial government on contract growing scheme, our company will be buying all the jathropa seeds harvested by the farmers we will also be putting up a processing plant in Batac, Ilocos Norte and Lanao de Norte.

Wind power development in the country is gaining interest from potential investors. Based on the study conducted by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the country has a total wind resource potential of 76,600 MW in six regions, namely: the Batanes, & Babuyan Islands; the Northwest tip of Luzon (Ilocos Norte); the higher interior terrain of Luzon, Mindoro, Samar, Leyte, Panay, Negros, Cebu, Palawan, Eastern Mindanao, and adjacent islands; well-explored east facing coastal locations from Northern Luzon southward to Samar, the wind corridors between Luzon and Mindoro and Panay (including the Semirara and Cuyo Island). Presently operating 2 units of wind mills with a capacity of 30 kva installed in Silang, Cavite. At a cost of P1 million.
Solar power - The Philippines is situated just above the equator and provides a vast potential for solar energy applications. It has been recorded that the country’s average solar radiation, based on sunshine duration, is 161.7 watts per square meter, with a range of 128 to 203 watts per square meter. We have installed also in Silang, Cavite with a capacity of 100 kva presently being used to supply power to the farm and is expanding to double its capacity.
Hydro power- Given the country’s vast hydropower potential, more than 10 percent of the electricity requirements are supplied by hydropower generation. The utilization of hydropower has been increasing in the past years. Its share in the primary energy mix increased from 5.4 percent in 2007. This uptrend is expected to continue with the interest shown by the private sector. We have been looking at areas in Tinambac, Camarinas Sur, Bicol Region to start with 1 MW of hydropower and another area in Calabanga, Camarinas Sur for 1.2 MW of hydropower. Estimate project cost is $1 million per MW of power.
