The PSMA was part of an interagency group that formulated a study on the "Use of Bioethanol as Alternative Fuel in the Philippines", which served as an important basis in the introduction and eventual passing of the Philippine Biofuels Act of 2006. The PSMA initiative was originally conceived to provide an alternative market for the increasing sugar production surplus in the country resulting from increased productivity of local producers.
