Bioethanol Firm: Another Future for Clark

Amidst the hasty upgrowth of Clark awaits a future that would help it develop
holistically. This same innovation would provide unswerving and helpful benefits to
Kapampangan lifestyle and would generate thousands of jobs around the province. For the
meantime, the people are bracing for the establishment of a gargantuan business firm the
Bioethanol Plant.
Recently, a South Korean company is primed to invest $300 million for the
construction of an ethanol plant set to produce 150 million liters of ethanol in the heart of
business in Pampanga Clark Freeport Zone. After construction, the plant is expected to be
the biggest bioethanol factory in the Philippines, and possibly in Asia.
Bioethanol is an ethanol liquid which is derived from common crops including sugar
cane, wheat and corn. It is considered as an alternative to pricey petroleum and inefficient
diesel. And today, Bioethanols popularity is surfacing for its effectual and less pricey nature
as fuel for vehicles.

Bioethanol production is already a major source of income for other countries.

Moreover, the main crop utilized in bioethanol production differs throughout the world. In the
USA, corn is preferred; in Brazil, sugar cane is favored; and across Europe, its primarily
barley and wheat. In our country, sweet delicacies namely sugar cane, cassava and sweet
sorghum are exploited. For the future firm, sugar cane harvested from Central Luzon
plantations will fuel the production of ethanol.
The government requires oil companies to market gasoline products with a 10percent ethanol blend - meaning that the Philippines requires around 500 million liters of
ethanol yearly, according to National Biofuels Board (NBB). Since
local ethanol production remains low, our country still has to import bulk of its ethanol
requirements from Brazil and Thailand.
The ethanol plant will have a generation segment that will permit it to produce 40
megawatts of power. The Clark plant is expected to boost ethanol supply in the Philippines
by a great percent. Furthermore, it will oversee a total of 30,000 hectares of sugarcane fields
in Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, and Tarlac.
Bioethanol also has the advantage of a lower taxation. In the UK, for example, the
government has reduced fuel levy on bioethanol which balances the higher production costs.
If the construction is eventually finished, it will provide a lower charge for gasoline in the
country. Additionally, with emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide allowed for, studies
suggest that greenhouse gas emissions can be trimmed down by up to 90% with bioethanol
compared to petrol. However, this would happen in a best-case scenario, with the use of
sugar cane as the crop.

Also, Angeles City is housing more than 400,000 residents. With this, thousands and
thousands of inhabitants are needing new jobs. With the new company being established, it
will provide massive job opportunities not only for Kapampangans but for other skilled and
novice workers in Luzon. The economy of the place is expected to elevate once the firm is
inaugurated. It will be a major source of revenue for workers and firms alike.
Clark has been widely named as a Specialized Economic Zone for the past few years.
Its economy has been gradually developing since after the World War II. Business firms have
been widespread - call centers, hotels, casinos, airport and leisure parks ; and progress
has been very much noticeable. Along with the Global Gateway Logistics City, proposed
Disneyland and other planned developments ahead of Clark, the zone is earning its ticket to
become one luxurious place and to compete with other glitzy cities across the planet.
