Europeans offer aid for windmills, bio-energy

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has secured a commitment from Denmark to expand the Bangui wind power plant in Ilocos Norte, and from Finland to explore the use of biomass as an alternative energy source, an official said yesterday.

Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said Hawaii was also studying importing car maker Ford Philippines’ flexivehicle that runs on ethanol.

Mrs. Arroyo’s bilateral talks with European leaders during her recent trip to the continent had resulted in firm commitments to boost the Philippines’ energy sector, he said.
