Germany-based EnviTec Biogas has announced plans to build its first biogas facility in the Philippines, in partnership with First Quezon Biogas Corporation (FQBC). The 1.4 MW plant will be located in Candelaria, Quezon Province, and is expected to begin supplying electricity to Meralco’s grid by June 2026. The project marks a key step in EnviTec’s expansion into Southeast Asia.
The plant will process poultry manure from 4.5 million broilers, combined with rice-straw silage, to generate electricity and produce organic fertiliser. Current infrastructure includes two 5,250 cubic metre fermenters, a biogas engine, transformer, clamp silo, digestate lagoon, and intake hall. Installation of additional systems, such as fermenter internals, pumps, digestate treatment, and control systems, is scheduled for early 2026.
