Market Transformation through Introduction of Energy Efficient Electric Vehicles Project (E-Trike Project)
…000 electric tricycles (e-trikes).
Timeline:
2012: commissioning of design
2013 - 2015: initial investment phase (PHP 500 million investment, 500 local jobs generated)
2015: stakeholder engagement - local government units (LGUs), financial institutions, and Transport Operators and Drivers' Associations
Roadmap:
SHORT-TERM (2017-2019)
- Lobby with LGU to provide enabling environment such as preferential franchises for electric vehicles.
- Network with LandBank of the Philippines (LBP) and other financial conduits such as, rural banks, transport cooperatives, multi-purpose cooperatives to provide loan facilities.
- Facilitate the establishment of minimum performance and non-discriminatory regulations for EVs and charging stations.
- Facilitate the improvement of… -
Feed-in Tariff Rules
…solar, ocean and biomass renewable energy sources.
To be eligible for a FIT, power utilities must received a Certificate of Compliance from the ERC. Renewable energy generators are then guaranteed priority access to dispatch and to the transmission and distribution grid.
The tariff system will be financed by a fixed charge on electricity bills referred to as the FIT-ALL.
The FIT-ALL Fund, administered by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines shall then be redistributed to Eligible RE developers.
The FIT will decrease over time, according to fixed degression rates, to mirror progressive drops in cost of technologies. -
Biofuels Act
The Biofuels Act adopted in late 2006 went into force in January 2007, mandating various minimum percentages of locally-sourced biofuels (meeting certain standards) to be blended into liquid fuels for motors and engines.
It requires a minimum 1% biodiesel blend by volume in all diesel fuels within 3 months of the Act’s enforcement, and 5% bioethanol blend by volume within two years in all gasoline fuels being distributed and sold in the Philippines. This volumes are to progressively increase; for biodiesel to 2% within 2 years, and for bioethanol to 10% within four years.
The regulation is accompanied… -
New and renewable energy programme (Exec. Order 462)
The policy aims to: a. To accelerate the exploration, development, utilization and commercialization of ocean, solar, and wind (OSW) energy resources which are indigenous, renewable, environment-friendly and of such abundance that can provide the Philippines self-sufficiency in energy and possibly surpluses for export in the future despite high energy demand due to rapid economic growth; b. To enable and enhance private sector participation in the exploration, development, utilization and commercialization of OSW energy resources; c. To ensure the proper management of OSW energy resources, consistent with the countrys goals of energy self-sufficiency, affordability, and sustainable development. Executive…

What Next for the Global Car Industry
An Energy Technology Perspectives Special Report The global car industry has operated under relatively stable conditions for decades. The world’s largest car manufacturers are based in the European Union, Korea, Japan and the United States, and – more recently – in China, and the car industry is a major contributor to the economy in these countries. The strength of many of these car makers is built on decades at the forefront of technological innovation around the internal combustion engine (ICE), as well as highly integrated and optimised supply chains that allow for vehicles and their components to be produced at low…

Global Methane Tracker 2026 Regional insights
Central and South America The fossil fuel sector in Central and South America emitted just under 8 million tonnes (Mt) of methane in 2025, around half of which was from oil and gas facilities in Venezuela. Oil and gas facilities are the main sources of methane emissions in Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, whereas in Colombia emissions are split roughly evenly between coal mining and oil and gas activities. In Venezuela, the upstream methane emissions intensity of oil and gas operations is nearly six times the global average, and flaring intensity is around 12 times higher. The intensities of operations in Argentina…

Wired for water: How electrification is transforming desalination
Wired for water: how electrification is transforming desalination The water-energy nexus Pressure on water resources is increasing worldwide and can be very acute at the local level. Rising consumption across sectors combined with population growth in already water-stressed regions is intensifying water scarcity. Desalination has long been developed to supply fresh water in the most affected areas, with significant implications for the energy system: energy use ranges from under 0.1% to as much as 15% of total final consumption, depending on national reliance. However, a shift is underway from thermal desalination technologies to electricity-driven systems as…

Graphite
Outlook for key energy transition minerals This report provides an outlook for demand and supply for key energy minerals including copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements. Demand projections encompass both key energy technologies and other uses under different IEA Scenarios. Supply projections are based on a detailed review of all announced projects. They show how today's geographical concentration evolves over time, for both mining and refining and how expected supply compares with primary supply requirements.

Global Energy Review 2026 Electricity demand
Electricity demand grew more than twice as fast as overall energy demand Global electricity demand grew year-on-year by around 3% in 2025, easing from 4.4% in 2024, when intense heat waves boosted electricity consumption. Nevertheless, the 2025 growth rate remained above the 2.8% annual average observed between 2014 and 2024 and was also well over twice the rate of overall global energy demand growth in 2025 (1.3%). Demand growth was well above long-term average rates in advanced economies, but slowed in Asian economies In 2025, emerging market and developing economies accounted for 80% of…
