Waste to Energy Project Eyed in 3rd District



by Eugene Adiong on Fri, 06/02/2017

The five local government units in the third district of Negros Occidental is eyeing a waste to energy project, Victorias City Mayor Francis Palanca said.

"Together with Rep. Alfredo Benitez we are negotiating with an American firm for the project that will convert plastic waste into diesel ," Palanca said.

The Mayor said that he is not in favor of landfill because "you have to spend so much money for 50 to 100 years and you can't utilize the land."

However, in compliance with the law "we have set aside budget in the purchase of a small land adjacent to our old dumpsite in Brgy.14," he also said.

"We are keeping our options open. We have received an offer for a private corporation to haul our garbage. If there is segregation, our garbage will go down from about 30 tons daily to just 10 tons," Palanca said which may not be viable for a private company to undertake.

He said that he is looking into a public-private partnership "so that government funds can be used for other projects."

"In the next five years there will be new technologies on waste that we could adopt," he said.*(Eugene Y. Adiong)
