C TRADE Philippines
operating subsidiary in Philippines, uses its proprietary anaerobic digestion technology to construct concrete biogas digesters to produce methane from manure wastes for animal farm owners to: (1) produce methane-rich biogas for electricity generation, (2) eliminate waste water discharges, (3) produce fertilizer for sale and
(4) finance using carbon credits. >> download flyer to learn more....

USAID: U.S. Agency for International Development awarded a three-year ($2.4M) Grant to the Philippine Sanitation Alliance (PSA) of C TRADE and PADCO in 2007 to implement sanitation and wastewater projects to improve health, environment and economic conditions. These resources will fund new investments in appropriate sanitation solutions and commercial/institutional facilities, providing health benefits to more than 900,000 people in the Philippines. >> download USAID flyer to learn more....

C TRADE generates electric power for pig and poultry farms in the Philippines using waste methane biogas recovered from manure collected in concrete tanks (anaerobic digesters) that also serve as waste water pollution control systems & produce fertilizer for sale.

C TRADE develops carbon credits called Certified Emission Reductions (CER), to fund the projects and transfers ownership through a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme to the farm owner.

Benefits of Biogas to Energy System:
" Develops zero-discharge wastewater management system
" Provide innovative financing using CERs
" Reduce or eliminate odor and groundwater pollution
" Provide employment, generate power and organic fertilizer
" Reduces and finally eliminates wastewater lagoons and ponds

Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Scheme
C TRADE will finance, design, build, operate and transfer the biogas digester and power generating system to the farm owner in 10 to 15 years in exchange for the carbon credits to be developed.

Listed below are the steps involved in the project development.

Phase 1: Farm Owner signs a Project Development Agreement with C TRADE. C TRADE will secure information on the farm and start developing the design of the biogas digester for the SOW level of the farm. The Farm owner will ensure that the farm has all local operating permits. A local stake holder meeting is held with farm neighbors and local government officials to detail the proposed project.

Phase 2: C TRADE will finance and construct Biogas Digester followed by start-up and monitor of gas production, train local operators, and design power generating system.

Phase 3. Power Generating System is specified and procured based on the amount of gas production. Farm pays for electricity used at 10% to 30% below current price which is used to pay for cost of construction.

Phase 4. Sludge dewatering and Fertilizer System is designed and installed. Sludge from the bottom of the digester tanks are fed to a sludge collection system for dewatering. The dried sludge from the sludge tank is removed for fertilizer production. Cleaned water is reused in farm operations thus eliminating any waste water discharge.
