Generating Green Energy from Wastes Materials

Green Energy from Wastes

One of the consistent problems with waste management systems has been the inefficient management of solid wastes thus causing various ecological concerns. Good thing new technology and strategies are dealing with this issue.



Traditional waste management systems like landfills and incinerators are known to contribute to environmental problems such as air pollution, contamination of ground water and vegetation. And often times these even cause adverse effects to human health. But with new technologies on waste treatment, tested methods are being used which are more efficient and reliable than landfill system and incinerators. The concept on these green technologies is to destroy waste and convert wastes into green energy without causing any harm to the environment and human health.

The problem of pollution due to inefficient waste management can be greatly avoided through green technology like Biosphere Technology, a waste to energy system that provides effective process of energy conversion from waste materials including the non-traditional wastes.

One of the major advantages with Biosphere Technology is the de-carbonized production of energy from waste. If it is further developed it could supply the world’s energy needs thus reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. It is for a fact that fossil fuels are the number one energy sources with highest carbon dioxide emissions. With this problem at hand the world really needs a sustainable and environmental energy source like what Biosphere Technology offers. Instead of exploiting our natural resources for energy why not utilize the tons of wastes for energy conversion. This actually opens the opportunity to clear the environment from wastes while strengthening the production of green energy.

Generating green energy from wastes on a large scale has always been a bit of a head scratcher. Early returns on the concentrated energy strategy, however, have been extremely positive both on environmental protection and energy industry.

    This process is widely done here in our country. Using the waste produced by the hogs is processed to create methane gas that will be used in energy conversion. It greatly reduce the energy consumption of meat processing plants

Benefits of Mangrove Planting

Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees that grow in tropical and subtropical seashores. These areas are hard-hitting places for plants to grow. Mangroves can thrive in salty water and survive in harsh conditions because of their strong roots that can filter the salinity of the sea and only consume the fresh water it needs. Aside from its ability to stand against the salty water of the sea, Mangrove is also well known to contribute to the overall health of the coastal area by providing food, shelter and environmental protection for marine organisms, nest dwellers and even humans living near seashores. This family of shrubs traps and rotates different elements, chemicals, and minerals. Their roots acts as block and provide environmental protection for some various marine organism such as fish and seashells. They also provide food for various marine species such as oyster, shrimp, tarpon, jack, and snook. Not only the marine organisms benefit in mangroves, but their branches also serve

Importance of MRF – Material Recycling Facility

What is MRF? MRF or Material Recycling Facility also known as Material Recovery Facility integrates conveyors system which is used for material recovery or recycling. It has sorting machinery wherein it divides recyclables according to end marketable usage. Normally, there are two different types of MRF, the clean and dirty MRF’s. Significance of MRF As we know it, recycling is one method of conserving our natural environment. And MRF systems play an important role in doing the method of recycling in a large scale basis. As an essential component of innovative waste management system by means of recycling, MRF greatly helps in conserving the environment. It lessens the extraction of our natural resources thus creating a more sustainable way of manufacturing new products. Aside from that is decreases the amount of waste materials in our community thus prevents the spread of environmental contaminants that may also bring dangers in human health. MRF also offers high processin

Save the Endangered Species of Davao

Davao Region or Southern Mindanao is located southeast of Mindanao. Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and Compostela Valley. The Davao Gulf is bounded by these regions. Davao City is its regional center. As it lies outside the typhoon belt, rainfall is evenly distributed though out the year. The area is shielded from the rough weather by Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines. This makes the fauna and flora of the region flourish, nurturing diverse and unique species. But pollution, deforestation, and excessive hunting left these species endangered. The most renowned endangered species of Davao is The Philippine Eagle . It is similarly called Haribon or monkey-eating eagle. Only found in the Philippine islands of Mindanao, Luzon, Leyte, and Samar, it is among the most endangered species of its kind in the world. Length-wise, it is the largest among its kind. Its broad-spanned wings ensure powerful flights. Due to its being rare and majestic features, private
