Communal biogas project generates electricity in Batangas, Philippines |
|
Last March 18, 2009, PhilBIO and AsiaBIO commissioned the communal biogas system and power plant at Barangay Sorosoro, Batangas City, Philippines. The project site is a community of about 50 backyard hog raisers who are contract growers of the Sorosoro Ibaba Development Cooperative (SIDC), the local project cooperator. The biogas system now supplies electricity for the SIDC administration building to help enhance the cooperative's various livelihood activities. The inauguration ceremony of the biogas system was part of the 40th anniversary celebration of SIDC.
