State-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Danfoss Philippines Inc. signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a decarbonization framework for New Clark City in Tarlac province.
The partnership is seen to drive the adoption of energy-efficient and carbon-neutral technologies in the city’s development.
“With this decarbonization program, we aim to position New Clark City as a model and benchmark for other cities in the Philippines—and even around the globe—that are striving to achieve a net-zero transition,” said BCDA president and chief executive Joshua Bingcang.
The MOU includes a study on implementing a decarbonization program, assessing the feasibility of smart store systems, district cooling and a sustainability technology center.
Danfoss, a Danish company specializing in energy-efficient solutions, will provide technical expertise and knowledge for the initiative.
“By offering a roadmap for green urban transition, it shows how cities can act as ambitious, inspirational, front-runners that showcase green technology and create attractive places to live and work. We, in Danfoss, together with the Danish embassy are happy to share our new technology in relation to energy efficiency to fulfill the New Clark City vision,” said Danfoss general manager Allan Alfredo Almendrala.
