Philippines may suspend biofuel law to “protect” efficiency of mega power plant

July 8, 2014 |

In the Philippines, the government may suspend the country’s biofuels law that requires power plants to blend with 2% biodiesel to protect the efficiency of the 1,200MW Ilijan natural gas plant in Batangas. Apparently the facility will produce just 480MW of 600MW installed capacity on the one side if it begins using 2% coconut-based biodiesel following maintenance upgrades next March.
