Biomass Japan has selected Davao City, Philippines, to set up a used cooking oil-based biodiesel plant.
Biomass Japan will collect all used cooking oil from restaurants and households, filter and process this into biodiesel, which can be used by cars and generators according to Ivan Cortez, officer-in-charge of Davao City Investment Promotion Centre (DCIPC). The firm is currently negotiating feedstock supply contracts with major restaurants and other potential oil suppliers.
DCIPC assisted the company in conducting a survey and data gathering to determine the volume of used cooking oil the company can get from the city.
