ThomasLloyd laid the foundation stone for North Negros BioPower, a biomass power plant with a capacity of 25 megawatts (MW) in the Philippines. The project, located north of the island of Negros, is the third power plant that, starting in late 2019, will generate renewable electricity from local agricultural waste for about 265,000 people. Once in operation, North Negros BioPower will also create more than 3,000 new permanent jobs at the power plant and in local agriculture, saving 20,600 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per year.
