About Us
The biomass plants, North Negros Biopower Inc., South Negros Biopower Inc. and San Carlos Biopower Inc. (together the “Biomass Plants”) are located on the island of Negros, Philippines and headquartered and managed from Manila, Philippines. The Biomass Plants are the largest baseload biomass electricity plants in the Philippines with the capacity to generate 70 MW of electricity. The Biomass Plants are designed to run 24 hours a day, providing much needed baseload renewable energy power to the Philippines as it seeks to reduce reliance on conventional electricity solutions such as carbon intensive coal fired power plants. The Biomass Plants employ more than 1200 people, help avoid agricultural waste and provide additional revenues to sugarcane farmers on the island. The Biomass Plants are powered by sugarcane waste, specifically dried leaves and stalks of the sugar cane plant, which would typically be burned or left to decompose in the sugarcane fields after they are harvested. The Biomass Plants were strategically developed, constructed and financed by ThomasLloyd.
