Asia Biomass Energy Cooperation Promotion Office
At the turn of 2009 to 2010, public announcements were made as regard to two big project plans as regard to biomass power generation. They are named as Quezon Project and Global Green Project, respectively. In the projects, 36 biomass power plants, having capacity of 660 MW in total, will be constructed investing 1.894 billion dollars.
Quezon Project is a by-far enlarged version of initial project plan (released in January 2007) of a 10 MW class biomass power generation station to be constructed on Bondock Peninsula, which has been promoted by the Quezon Electric Cooperative. The scale of Quezon plan has finally come up to 240 MW in total. On the other hand, Global Green project was 87.5 MW at the time of November 2008 (5 power stations, investing 200 million dollars), but now it has been enlarged to 420 MW which is five times as large as the initial plan.
