                    [Summary] => An energy company based in Ukraine will set up power plants around the Philippines using the country’s leading produce – coconuts, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced yesterday.


Philippine Ambassador to Moscow Ernesto Llamas said Sukhin Energy, Inc. (SEI) has finalized an agreement with the Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC) to initially install a 2.5 megawatt synthesized gas station that could generate 10-12 megawatts of electricity for the island of Masbate using coconut husks.
