Philippines: The Philippines Amends Policy and Allows Expansion of Fuel Ethanol Capacity
On February 11, 2025, the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) issued Sugar Order No. 3 (SO3), allowing new applications for construction and expansion of bioethanol facilities using molasses as feedstock provided certain conditions are met. SO3 series (s.) 2024-2025 amends SO3 s. 2015-2016, which imposed a moratorium on SRA registration of new applications or expansions of existing bioethanol plants in the country.
