Hi Lily the renewable energy in Philippine is a very big mature market due to their ever increasing demand for cheaper and cleaner electricity power sources for their agriculture and industrial usage as Necessity is the mother of invention.
In Isabela the Family Choice and Golden Season are among the largest and most modern rice mills in the region of Isabela, and supply products to locations all over the Philippines. Aside from rice milling, Golden Season also supplies high-grade whole yellow and white corn kernel to corn and feed millers in the Philippines.
The two mills are located approximately 15 kilometres apart, by road. They had a 2MW power plant at Golden Season will provide electricity to Golden Season’s rice mill and to a neighbouring rice mill, Gold Star Rice Mill. Moreover with the excess electricity generated from the power plants the electricity will plough back to the Luzon grid. Most of the power generation units will be fuelled entirely by rice husks which are generated from the rice milling processes within the four mills. All four mills currently import electricity from the Luzon grid for their milling operations and use diesel in standby generators
The aim of these project activities will help the company to fulfil sustainable development goals as in Philippine Agenda 21 as well as the national Renewable Energy policy, and provide immense environmental and social benefits to the community: The utilisation of rice husk as fuel will reduce the smoke and pollution associated with traditional open burning of rice husks, consequently improving the local air quality and eliminating numerous health hazards in the community.The project also increases the energy diversity, self sufficiency, and hence, stability of energy supply to the project developers, and the community. The video is not actual footage but something quite close to it. Moreover, the renewable energy in Philippine are far more way advance than Singapore in this area unless you have technology or services that can leverage on the current market. In general Philippine had plenty of land and resources to sustain the project feasibility, with the help of strong major partner like the American Japanese, Korea that already invest capital and technology transfer for the bio renewable energy project. From my point of view, Singapore is well know for waste water treatment maybe you got a better chance to engage them in area of expertise the contact as follows:-
