A key and specialized feature of GOTI will be its advanced blending capabilities, ensturing compliance with the Philippine Clean Air Act and environmental regulations set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). This includes:
Ethanol Blending
State-of-the-art facilities for blending imported Gasoline with Ethanol to meet the mandatory biofuel mandates for cleaner-burning fuels.
Coco Methyl Ester (CME) Blending
Dedicated systems for blending imported Diesel with Coco Methyl Ester (CME), supporting local industries and contributing to reduced emissions.
GOTI is modelled after direct-import fuel hubs like Johor but localized for Mindanao’s rising energy demand and agricultural- industrial landscape.
Low Logistics Costs & Transit Time
Eliminates dependency on congested hubs. Reduces demurrage and intermediary costs and shortens delivery times, leading to lower pump prices.
Stronger Energy Security
Local reserves of finished fuels in Mindanao reduce national reliance on distant supply chains and global disruptions.
Guaranteed Clean Air Act Compliance at Source
Biofuel blending is done on-site, ensuring compliance with DENR Clean Air Act. Blending-relating issues down the supply chain are prevented.
Mindanao as a Growth Engine
Developing a primary import hub for fuels in Mindanao supports the region’s growing economic activity and its crucial role in national development.
Price-Competitive
Streamlined, integrated operations allow more affordable, high-quality fuels to reach business and consumers.
Support for Local Biofuel Industry
CME blending supports the Philippine coconut industry, providing a stable market for coconut oil.
Agricultural Output
As a major agricultural producer, Mindanao's farming and logistics sectors are heavy consumers of diesel. GOTI minimises fuel costs for producers and contributes to sustainable agriculture operations.
The Philippines depends heavily on imported finished fuels, with imports meeting over 70% of national demand. GOTI offers:
Billions in Savings for the Nation
Annual cost savings from reduced freight, demurrage and intermediary handling charges for finished productions.
Resilient Supply Chain
Lessens the nation’s vulnerability to disruptions in traditional global shipping lanes and regional transshipment hubs.
Consistent Compliance
Compliance with national environmental standards upon arrival and before distribution.
