Feasibility study for three Philippine provinces (Aurora, Batangas, Tarlac) proved the viability of planting bamboo to produce biomass fuel and food. Bamboo chips replace fossil fuel with cost effective, low nitrogen, low sulphur carbon neutral biomass. At the same time quick growing bamboo replaces the use of wood for fuel, charcoal and building material to reverse massive deforestation. Each Eco-Cluster includes a bamboo shoot cannery, efficient charcoal facility and biomass gasifier for distributed power. In Batangas an offtake agreement was negotiated with S.U.R.E Inc for the bamboo chips.
