An Interesting Breakthrough in Energy

There are so many interesting breakthroughs in energy nowadays. For example, the use of solid wastes to derive energy is really intriguing. It is also known as the biosphere gasification process wherein it uses high temperatures to produce clean green energy out of wastes.
It harnesses the calorific value (combustibility) of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) to create a heat source that produces super heated steam via boiler, which drives a combination stream turbine/alternator, generating green electricity. Another great thing about this technology, it doesn’t pollute the environment and about 99% of the wastes are put into use for other industries. The byproducts of biosphere technology include electricity, pozzolanic ash, carbon black and high alloy steel wire. Since its process is done in a limited-oxygen environment, it limits atmospheric emissions thereby helps in reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

With this kind of technology, both environmental and energy problems worldwide can be solved. It can decrease if not totally eliminate world’s dependence on fossil fuels. If the world is seeking for the best technology in mitigating the effects of global warming, then this is it. This is the breakthrough we are all waiting for, the solution that we all need towards a greener and cleaner world.

Why am I too blatant and enthusiastic to promote it? Because I don’t know any technology that can be as efficient, cost-effective, and environmental friendly like this one. To know more about it, watch this video: How the biosphere works?

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...

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...

What Happened to Aquino's Green Agenda?

The recent climate issues that we have in the country created a huge impact in the environment. The government is now being questioned about its plans in the climate change mitigation and Adaptation Program. Anakpawis Partylist Rep. Rafael Mariano said that there is a budget for the program to which the public needs to know the short and long-term plans of the government for climate change. President Benigno Aquino III pronounced his commitment in February 2011 in the aspects of mitigating disasters in geo-hazard areas and to ensure sustainable development for climate change adaptation. The administration focused in illegal loggers which contributes a large impact in the calamities that we are experiencing. But the environmental groups believed that the legal loggers who have permits with DENR are the ones who create a huge damage in the country’s forest along with the mining activities that the government allowed in the country. Climate change is the effect of changes in the b...
