This study gives information about the potential for biomass to provide the province of Antique, Philippines, with electrical power by thermo-chemical conversion. The focus is on agricultural residues, like rice husk, bagasse or coconut shells, and on sustainable wood from reforestation areas. Information about the current power consumption and supply in Antique is collected. The main bioenergy potential can be achieved by using rice husk for energy generation, which could substitute about 30% of fossil generated electricity in the province. Reforestation wood is considered to allow further contributions to renewable energy supply, especially for remote areas.
