The Market Profiling study in GPDP 2 expanded the results of the GPDP 1 study, gauging the extent of the potential demand for natural gas among firms in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs). In particular, the study updated the profile and activities of the existing economic zones, identified locators with energy-intensive operations in the Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon (CALABARZON), Clark, Subic, and Bataan areas, and determined the interest of locators in SEZs to convert to natural gas. The study delved into the top considerations for switching to natural gas; knowledge and perception on natural gas; knowledge on environmental issues; technical requirements for switching; and the rationale on the reluctance towards natural gas.
