Building national circular economy infrastructure for the Philippines
Broadgate Energy Philippines exists to fundamentally transform how the Philippines manages waste, generates clean energy, and pursues its environmental commitments. We are establishing national circular economy infrastructure that recovers valuable resources from waste streams while addressing the documented Philippine landfill crisis and the hospital infectious waste emergency.
Our work is not theoretical. We are deploying proven international technology with a 35-year operational track record, beginning with two parallel pilot facilities in 2026 and scaling through a structured pathway across all 82 Philippine provinces over the next 25 years.
The Philippines faces four interconnected crises that traditional approaches cannot solve. Landfills are failing catastrophically across the country, with documented disasters in Cebu City, Rizal Province, and Metro Manila in just the first four months of 2026. Hospital infectious waste treatment infrastructure remains concentrated in Luzon, forcing healthcare facilities in the Visayas and Mindanao to ship waste hundreds or thousands of kilometers for compliant disposal. Energy costs in the Philippines are among the highest in Asia, burdening Filipino families and businesses. And the country has not yet established a binding Net Zero framework, creating opportunity for early movers in verified emissions reductions.
These crises are not separate problems. They share root causes in how the country handles waste. They demand a coordinated solution that addresses all four simultaneously. That is what Broadgate Energy Philippines is building.
Broadgate Energy operates as a 35-year established United Kingdom company with proven facilities across three operating countries. Our technology has been refined through decades of operational experience in the United Kingdom, with additional plants in Finland and India. The newest UK facility launches this year in Yorkshire.
In May 2026, Broadgate publicly announced new country deployments in the Philippines and the United States, with operations in Kenya in development. The Philippines is a priority deployment country where Broadgate is bringing its proven technology to address documented national infrastructure challenges.
This global heritage means that Philippine operations are not pioneering untested technology. We are bringing operations that have been refined through decades of real-world performance to a country that urgently needs them.
Don Dormitorio leads Broadgate Energy Philippines as Country Director and Partner. Based in Quezon City, he brings together commercial, regulatory, and operational leadership for the Philippine deployment. His responsibilities span the establishment of corporate infrastructure, the development of partnerships with healthcare facilities and local government units, regulatory engagement across multiple Philippine agencies, and the coordination of the strategic six-phase deployment across the country.
Don is also a published author of two books on personal development and spiritual growth. He lives in Quezon City with his wife Vaneza and their four daughters.
Naeem Abbas is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of Broadgate Energy Limited and Lokus Energy, the parent organizations behind Broadgate Energy Philippines. As founder, he has built the technical foundation that enables Broadgate operations across every country where the company is deployed. His engineering leadership shapes the design, performance, and continuous refinement of the non-burn thermal decomposition technology that defines Broadgate operations globally.
Naeem leads the technical relationship with Broadgate Philippines from the UK, working in direct partnership with the Country Director to ensure that Philippine operations meet the same engineering standards that have established Broadgate's reputation across three decades of operations.
Broadgate Energy Philippines operates with strategic discipline that distinguishes us from speculative ventures. We do not approach the Philippine waste sector as an emerging market opportunity to be extracted. We approach it as national infrastructure to be built carefully, in proper partnership with Filipino institutions, with proven technology that delivers measurable results.
Our approach has several defining characteristics:
Proven Technology: We use only proven technology with established operational track records, not experimental approaches that may not deliver.
Partnership First: We pursue partnerships with established Filipino institutions including healthcare facilities, local government units, real estate developers, and regulatory bodies, recognizing that no single operator can transform Philippine waste management alone.
Full Compliance: We maintain full regulatory compliance through Philippine Department of Health, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and Local Government Unit frameworks rather than seeking regulatory exceptions or shortcuts.
Long-Term Commitment: We commit to multi-decade operational presence rather than short-term commercial extraction.
Transparent Communication: We communicate transparently about both the substantial opportunities and the genuine challenges of building national infrastructure in the Philippines.
By 2050, Broadgate Energy Philippines will operate circular economy infrastructure across all 82 Philippine provinces. We will have transformed major Metro Manila landfills into productive Filipino communities. We will generate substantial clean electricity for the country. We will hold among the largest verified emissions reduction operations in the Philippines. We will employ thousands of Filipinos in skilled circular economy roles. And we will have helped lead the Philippines toward its Net Zero framework, becoming the operating example that shapes national climate policy.
This is patient infrastructure work. It requires 25 years of disciplined execution, not 25 months of opportunistic growth. We are building Broadgate Energy Philippines for the long term because the Philippines deserves operators who think in decades rather than quarters.
