Bio-Energy NL Inc. otherwise known as “BENLINC” is a duly organized company existing under the laws of the Philippines which aims to develop the coconut industry in the northern part of the Philippines. It is composed of local businessmen mostly from the north who has been united by one and noble vision – to revive the coconut industry in the Ilocos region to be able to produce exportable coco methyl esters (CME) as well as to meet local demands.
BENLINC envisions to develop more than one million hectares over a ten-year period in ten provinces in the Ilocos Region by utilizing surplus rural labor and vast underdeveloped land resources into coconut and other bio-energy crops. The Philippine Coconut Authority together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources have recognized and given their support to BENLINC.
Last year, BENLINC initiated the development of a comprehensive coconut-based bio-energy development program in the Northern Luzon. It aims to develop the following:
a) Pilot coconut-based bio-energy development in priority areas including infrastructure and support services;
b) Pilot procurement, processing and export market development; and
c) Project management and implementation support.
