Origin

Why Bacolod, why biodiesel.

The problem

The Philippines imports most of its diesel. At the same time, used cooking oil, market spoilage, and processor fats in Bacolod are dumped, burned, or landfilled — three waste streams with real fuel value, lost.

Green Solution.Ph exists to close that loop locally: collect the streams from restaurants, public markets, households, and poultry processors, then process them into renewable biodiesel at a facility in Barangay Felisa.

Biodiesel performance depends on the engine, blend ratio, and OEM guidance — so the work is paired with honest qualification on suitability. Real partnerships, real diligence, before any production-volume supply.
