Alternative Fuels Program

The Alternative Fuels Program is one of the five (5) key components of the Arroyo Administration's Energy Independence Agenda, which outlines the roadmap that will lead to the country's attainment of 60% energy self-sufficiency by 2010.

The Department of Energy (DOE) is implementing a long-term Alternative Fuels Program to (1) reduce our dependence on imported oil and (2) provide cheaper and more environment-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. Through the said program, the DOE intends to tap the country's domestic produce as viable sources of energy. The goal is to develop indigenous and renewable energy fuels for long term energy security, which will be a pillar of our country's sustainable growth.
