Once it goes into operation, North Negros BioPower will also create more than 3,000 permanent new jobs in the power plant and in local agriculture and save 20,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year.

In addition to many other guests, a ThomasLloyd delegation of over 100 was invited to the official groundbreaking ceremony. In addition to a large delegation of European finance experts and providers of capital, many high-ranking representatives of politics, business and the media in Asia took part in the ceremony, as well as representatives of project partners and institutional investors.
