  • Biomass/Biofuels
  • Geothermal
  • Solar Power
  • Hydropower
  • Ocean
  • Wind Power
• Biomass – from plant/animal waste. Example: rice husks, sugarcane residues.
• Geothermal – uses heat from underground rocks. Plants: Makban, Tiwi, BacMan.
• Solar Power – energy from the sun using solar panels. Examples: Concepcion, Cadiz, Alaminos Solar PV Parks.
• Hydropower – uses flowing water to spin turbines.
• Wave/Tidal Power – energy from ocean waves or tides. Example: Capul Island project.
