The Department of Science and Technology-CALABARZON (DOST-CALABARZON) through its Provincial Science and Technology Center (PSTC) in Cavite partnered with the local government unit (LGU) of Noveleta, Cavite and with two Cavite-based cooperatives for the use of DOST-developed technologies. The LGU of Noveleta adopted the DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) Portable Biogas Digester, while the Maitim II East Water Service Cooperative (M2EWC) and the Palangue Agrarian Reform Cooperative (PARC) adopted the DOST-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) Tubig Talino and Iron Fortified Rice Technology, respectively.

Through the DOST Community-Based Program (CBP), the LGU of Noveleta received 17 units of Portable Biogas Digester from the DOST PSTC-Cavite. The DOST-ITDI designed and developed the adopted Portable Biogas Digester, which converts household waste materials into gas for cooking. The LGU of Noveleta, in adopting the named technology, seeks to establish improved biodegradable waste processing facilities for the 16 barangays of the municipality of Noveleta. Aside from providing better waste management of household and agricultural wastes, this DOST-ITDI technology also supplements the energy needs of small households and produces sludge, reusable as soil conditioner.
