Is Oil Independence Possible?

While most countries are now challenged with many environmental problems, they are as well faced to the biggest challenge of development which is to have an energy strategy that could substitute oil dependency and sustain the growing energy needs. Exploration on renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydro energy has been already considered however the fact remains that these are not enough to meet the world’s growing energy demands. Of course there is also the debate regarding the cost of these alternatives if governments are going to put up large scale power plants. Now the questions are; how are we supposed to resolve the energy problem if we could not rely entirely with the above mentioned alternatives? Is oil independence really possible?

Finally, there’s a great innovation that can change the way we consume and generate energy---the Biosphere Technology. 

Biosphere Technology would allow us to rely on green energy which is more efficient with oil and far more affordable than any other renewable sources. Achieving both with biosphere technology would also means economic security not to mention the environmental benefits we could get through this technology.

A single biosphere facility can recycle up to 720 tons of garbage and destroy up to 172 tons of non-recyclable garbage per day. The technology uses gasification process where in 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 thus generating green electricity.

Undeniably, the answer to energy and environmental problems is Biosphere Technology. Imagine, with this technology countries could have unlimited resource of energy while helping clean the environment. What could be better than this? However the dependence on oil will not be eliminated abruptly but it is possible. The world’s dependence on oil continues so long we remain to use oil. What every country needs to do is to invest heavily on green technologies such biosphere technology instead of exhausting resources to target oil reserves.

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...

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...

Water Pollution

Water as natural resources plays a very important role in our life and environment, for it is impossible to survive without water. It is very essential to life and source of life that needs to be protected for the inhabitants of this planet and for the future generation to come. Water nurtures and helps create life and it should not be overlooked. In order for us to use water, it must be cleaned first; removing any hazardous substances that might result to the contamination of water. One of the biggest environmental problems that every country faces today is the contamination of waters all over the world. Our environment is apparently facing water pollution. Primary causes of water pollution are industry waste, chemical usage, and vehicle emissions. Every year, many people die because of various diseases and illness that are developed from polluted water. One of these diseases for example is the spread of dengue in the Philippines that target and kills mostly children. People belie...
