An environmentalist group has expressed alarm over the growing number of gas-fired power plant projects in Batangas following the completion of two more liquefied natural gas facilities in the province. | dtmallarijrINQ /PDI
The DOE said the first LNG plant, owned by Linseed Field Corp., has started supplying natural gas to the Ilijan Natural Gas Power Plant, located in Barangay Ilijan in Batangas City.
The FGEN LNG terminal inside its First Gen Clean Energy Complex in Batangas aims to supply the power needs of gas-fired plants in the country, mainly within the Luzon grid.But Gariguez said the numerous fossil gas projects in Batangas could mean “more shipping lane traffic in the VIP and more toxic cargo plying our waters,” endangering the resource-rich passage, similar to what happened on Feb.
VIP is a 1.14 million-hectare marine ecosystem located off the coastlines of Batangas, Romblon, Marinduque, Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro provinces. It has been recognized as the “center of global shorefish biodiversity” due to the high densities of marine resources in the area.
