Agusan del Sur is pioneering sustainable energy with its new Biomass Gasification Plant in Talacogon, a testament to President Marcos’ Maaasahan at Masipag vision. This innovative 5 MW facility transforms wood waste—like sawdust and by-products from local industries—into clean, stable electricity. This not only solves a long-standing waste disposal challenge but also stabilizes power for wood processing plants. Any surplus energy is sold to ASELCO, benefiting the wider community. This project is a perfect solution because it addresses both waste and power needs simultaneously, indicating it's the ideal model for every region facing similar issues. The plant empowers local industries, protects the environment, and strengthens communities by providing a reliable, green energy source for a brighter, more sustainable future.
