Pasig City, Philippines – As businesses worldwide shift toward sustainability, AENZ is leading the charge in the Philippines by accelerating supply chain decarbonization. A recent In-Person Training on Decarbonization on February 13, hosted in collaboration with the European, French, and Dutch Chambers of Commerce, brought together over 70 industry representatives eager to take meaningful action toward reducing carbon emissions.
Bacolod City, Philippines — On Thursday, November 28, Bacolod hosted the launch of the first-of-its-kind Philippines-focused feasibility study that supports a national program to enhance both food security and energy security amid escalating pressures brought by extreme weather events. This innovative study highlights the potential of agrivoltaics, the co-location of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and agriculture activities on the same land, to address growing challenges in food security, renewable energy (RE), and climate resilience.
Leveraging the synergies between agriculture and solar energy through an emerging but proven technology like “Agrivoltaics” enables a country like the Philippines to enhance its food security, achieve its renewable electricity (RE) targets, and contribute to sustainable development. The Asia Engine for Net-Zero Institute (AENZ), a policy acceleration and capacity enhancement non-profit based in Manila, is hosting a first-of-its-kind roundtable discussion to catalyze the development of agrivoltaics in the Philippines by bringing together diverse stakeholders to share insights, discuss challenges, and identify actionable steps.
The Philippines faces a convergence of critical challenges in energy, food security, and climate resilience. These issues create what can be termed an “energy-food-climate trilemma,” in which demand for affordable energy, agricultural productivity, and climate adaptation collide. Currently, the Philippines is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for its energy supply, importing approximately 50% of its energy needs…
