Neil Agustin, a Filipino and president of the El Elyon-Orion Global Renewable Energy Resource Development Corporation, said they are willing to shoulder all the cost needed for the operation.
"In Vietnam, we have nearly perfected the technology and we wanted to introduce our technology for Boracay at no cost for the local government," said Agustin during his presentation at the local council here.
The company uses a combination of technology for the different wastes. Tin cans are being converted into ore, trees into coal and into renewable energy.
"The said company requires a 100 metric tons of wastes. We know that Boracay is only producing 51 metric tons of wastes at its peak. We may seek other nearby towns in Boracay to fill the gap," said Agustin.
The Sanguniang Bayan of Malay has requested a feasibility study to ensure the successful operation of the proposed power plant.
Agustin said they wanted to put up investments in this resort island as showcase for their success story on sustainable waste management.
It was learned that several US based companies has earlier proposed to put up an Independent Power Producer in this resort island. The Vietnam-based company is so far the first Asian firm that has expressed intention to put up a power plant here.
