The Bulacan Energy Challenge

Bulacan in Central Luzon is one of the fastest growing industrial corridors in the Philippines. Major food processors, cold chain operators and manufacturers are concentrated here. The region contributed 17% of Philippine GDP and continues to attract investment — now facing the diesel emergency alongside rising WESM electricity costs.

With diesel now at ₱119/litre — up 83% from ₱65 in 4 weeks — every litre your food processing burns is costing dramatically more than it did weeks ago. The time to switch is now.

Why Bulacan Food Processing Operators Are Switching

Diesel at ₱119/litre — and Rising

Philippine diesel hit ₱119/litre in March 2026 — up 83% from ₱65 in 4 weeks. Every litre your boiler burns now costs dramatically more. iHEAT R290 runs on electricity — no diesel, no price risk, no Scope 1 emissions.

SEC PFRS S2 Reporting

Every litre of diesel your facility burns is now a reportable Scope 1 emission under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 16 (2025). iHEAT eliminates Scope 1 from heating entirely. Zero to report.

WESM Price Surges

Electricity prices are volatile but iHEAT at COP 4.0–5.0 uses 75% less electricity than electric resistance heating for the same output. Even as grid prices rise your effective cost stays low.

Natural Refrigerant

R290 propane has GWP of just 3 — completely exempt from Kigali Amendment phase-downs. Future-proof for 30+ years. No PFAS. No forever chemicals. iCRYO for blast chilling, iCOOL for cold storage.

How Karnot iHEAT R290 Works for Food Processing

1

Extract

iHEAT extracts heat from ambient air at COP 4.0–5.0 — delivering 4.0–5.0x more energy than it consumes. Works in Philippine ambient temps of 28–35°C — ideal conditions.

2

Deliver

Hot water delivered to 60–80°C directly to your process hot water, CIP cleaning and pasteurisation. No combustion. No flue. No fuel storage. No Scope 1 emissions.

3

Save

₱1.4M+ annual saving for a medium food processing plant. Payback under 2.5 years. Runs on grid electricity — or add solar for maximum independence.
