Element’s Energy and Water Group is the leading integrated community microgrid and water company in the Philippines and within three years will be the leader in Southeast Asia.

Element’s Biomass Group is the leading biomass-to-energy producer in the Philippines and within five years will be among the top 5 producers in Southeast Asia. The Group is building its competitive edge on an extensive internationally certified landbank, large nursery and processing facilities, proprietary planting practices, and long-term supply agreements with prime credit off-takers.

Element’s Solar Group is establishing a North American-wide market position as a leading player in the residential solar PV and storage market, currently positioned in 12 states, with strategic expansion into all 50 states and Canada within three years. The Group’s competitive edge is building on the specialized industry experience of a large sales and installation team.
