RHI ethanol unit to sell
carbon credits to WB

The Negros Occidental-based bioethanol unit of listed sugar group Roxas Holdings Inc. will sell its carbon credits to the World Bank through the Community Development Carbon Fund for a 10-year period starting 2010.   

Roxol Bioenergy Corp., which signed an agreement on Emission Reductions Purchase Agreement with the World Bank on January 14, said in a Philippine Stock Exchange disclosure that the carbon credits will come from the operation of its wastewater treatment facility and the methane gas recovery system of its ethanol plant in La Carlota City.

The plant will be situated adjacent to the Central Azucarera de La Carlota, a sugar mill owned by Central Azucarera Don Pedro Group Corp., also a subsidiary of Roxas Holdings..
