The Biofuels Act adopted in late 2006 went into force in January 2007,
mandating various minimum percentages of locally-sourced biofuels
(meeting certain standards) to be blended into liquid fuels for motors and
engines.

It requires a minimum 1% biodiesel blend by volume in all diesel fuels within

3 months of the Acts enforcement, and 5% bioethanol blend by volume
within two years in all gasoline fuels being distributed and sold in the
Philippines. This volumes are to progressively increase; for biodiesel to 2%
within 2 years, and for bioethanol to 10% within four years.
Renewable
Energy The regulation is accompanied by an incentive scheme comprising various fiscal
Description: incentives. The biofuels component (local or imported) in fuel is exempt from
specific tax, and raw materials used for the production of biofuels are exempt from
value added tax (VAT). Water effluents resulting from biofuel production are
exempt from payment of wastewater charges.

In addition, financing for the production, storage, handling and transport of biofuel
or biofuel feedstock, including blending of biofuels with petroleum, is to be
prioritised by government financial institutions. Recipients must be Filipino
citizens, or entities of which at least 60% of the capital stock is owned by Filipino
citizens.
