MANILA -- Phoenix Pilipinas Gas and Power, Inc. and US-based Mesa Natural Gas Solutions LLC have signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) targeted towards the use of gas and increase the country’s energy mix.
 
The deal, signed by Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc. (PPPI) President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dennis Uy and Mesa Natural Gas Solutions LLC President and CEO Scott Gromer last December 11, is aimed at making generator sets that run on raw wellhead gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and propone-rich liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
 
In a statement, Phoenix Petroleum said the deal further boosts the company’s bid for increased use of cleaner energy and diversified energy sources.
 
It also said the tie-up supports the government’s initiatives on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
 
“The agreement will make the genset units available in the Philippines with the corresponding commissioning, training, and technical support from the USA,” it said.
 
PPPI COO Henry Albert Fadullon said that aside from contributing to the clean energy bid, the partnership with Mesa Natural Gas Solutions “will allow us to diversify and stabilize our energy sources as we help the country better secure its energy requirements.”
 
“Considering the innovative properties of this technology, remote areas of the country that suffer from unreliable power supply and quality can greatly benefit from it, including businesses in the hospitality and manufacturing industries,” he said.
 
The statement said the generator sets “can be monitored remotely on a real-time basis and immediate action can be taken on-site if needed.” (PNA)
