A Korea-based energy business consortium has offered to sell to the City Government its own modern technology on solid wastes to energy conversion.
The said proposal is through incineration that is allowable by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas said the Korean offer includes a feasibility study at no cost to the city only after the mayor signs a letter of intent of approving the study on solid wastes conversion to energy.
A team of Korean investors recently presented the technology to Treñas and members of the technical working group (TWG) of the city's solid waste management board zeroing on collected garbage at the Calajunan dumpsite in Mandurriao district.
The consortium is composed of four energy corporations based in South Korea headed by Heung-Pyo Lee, president of the Taewoong Energy and Environment Engineering Co. Ltd with Philippine partner Petroxy Philippine Power Corp. through director Neil Javier-Agustin of Business Development and Marketing.
Treñas said TWG is studying the Korean proposal in using an incinerator through a stoker of garbage in Calajunan that will comply with the requirements provided in Republic Act (RA) 8749 of the Clean Air Act of 1999 "providing for a comprehensive air pollution control policy" in the country.
