Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) and the US Grains & Bioproducts Council (USGBC) joins expertise to help shape the future of the Philippine biofuels industry through a renewed collaboration centered on research, technical knowledge, and policy development.

The agreement was signed by MMSU President Virgilio Julius Manzano Jr. and USGBC Deputy Regional Director Caleb Floss, in the presence of Vice President for Research, Development, and Innovation Nathaniel Alibuyog, and National Bioenergy Research and Innovation Center (NBERIC) Director James Paul Madigal.
 

Through this partnership, MMSU, through NBERIC, and USGBC will facilitate the exchange of expert knowledge, technical information, and best practices concerning the biofuels industry and policy development.
 

The collaboration also seeks to support the sustainable growth of the Philippine biofuels sector and position NBERIC and the country’s industry as hubs for technical expertise and policy leadership in Asia.

To advance these goals, the parties will organize knowledge-sharing activities involving international industry and policy experts, higher education institutions, local government units, farmer groups, and other stakeholders. These will include seminars, workshops, and learning missions held primarily at NBERIC in MMSU, with other engagements across the Philippines and the United States.
