Industry

The Philippines is the 39th largest economy of the world (World Bank, 2013), and is also termed as one of the emerging markets. The industrial sector has made a fair contribution to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over the years, averaging 34% during 1980-2014 (Emerging Markets). Internationally, The Philippines is considered as a newly industrialized country. Much of the industrial sector is based on processing and assembly operations in the manufacturing of electronics and other high-tech components, usually from foreign multinational corporations. In 2012, the industrial sector employed 1,530,000 nationally. (PSA, 2012) 

The major industries of the Philippines include manufacturing and agribusiness. Within manufacturing, mining and mineral processing, cement, chemicals, iron and steel, pulp and paper, and ceramics are the focus areas. The Philippines is an attractive pharmaceutical market in the Asia-Pacific region. The Philippines is also richly endowed with metallic resources, and the country has attracted many foreign companies to its land (Emerging Markets). 

Based on the SNC, the industry sector emitted 8.6 MtCO2e in year 2000. Emissions from imported halocarbons, estimated at 0.56 MtCO2e, are excluded. From the total industry emissions, 92% or 7.9 MtCO2e came from mineral production and use, with cement and lime production as the largest contributors. Emissions from metal production and the chemical industry accounted for 7% and 1%, respectively (SNC, 2014). The sector contributed an equivalent of 11 MtCO2e GHG emissions to the total inventory in 2010.

MITIGATION ACTIONS

INFORMATION	EXPLANATION	AGRICULTURE POLICY/ACTION

Objective(s) of the policy or action	The intended effects(s) or benefit(s) the policy or action intends to achieve (for example, the purpose stated in the legislation or regulation)	e.g. Thirty-five percent of national cement production is assumed to be lower- clinker by 2020, 50% by 2030; reducing CO2 emissions
Geographic coverage	The jurisdiction or geographic area where the policy or action is implemented or enforced, which may be more limited than all the jurisdictions where the policy or action has an impact	e.g. National, sub-national
Primary sectors, subsectors, and emission sources/sink categories targeted	Which sectors, subsectors, and source/sink categories are targeted, using sectors and subsectors from the most recent IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories or other sector classifications	e.g. a) Mineral Industry; CO2 Emissions from Cement Production; b) Fuel Combustion Activities -Manufacturing Industries and Construction; CO2, CH4, N2O; c) Fuel Combustion Activities -Manufacturing Industries and Construction; CO2, CH4, N2O; d) Fuel Combustion Activities -Manufacturing Industries and Construction; CO2, CH4, N2O; e) Mineral Industry; CO2 Emissions from glass production
Greenhouse gases targeted (if applicable)	If applicable, which greenhouse gases the policy or action aims to control, which may be more limited than the set of greenhouse gases that the policy or action affects	e.g. CO2
Other related policies or actions	Other policies or actions that may interact with the policy or action assessed.	e.g. None

OPTIONAL INFORMATION

INFORMATION	EXPLANATION	AGRICULTURE POLICY/ACTION
Intended level of mitigation to be achieved and/or target level of other indicators (if applicable)	If relevant and available, the total emissions and removals from the sources and sinks targeted; the target amount of emissions to be reduced or removals to be enhanced as a result of the policy or action, both annually and cumulatively over the life of the policy or action (or by a stated date); and/or the target level of key indicators	e.g. Cumulative mitigation potential for the period (2000-2030) is 31.18 million tons CO2e
Title of establishing legislation, regulations, or other founding documents	The name(s) of legislation1. or regulations authorizing or establishing the policy or action (or other founding documents if there is no legislative basis)	e.g. NCCAP
