Developing our renewable energy sources

Many oil importer countries including the Philippines have finally shift their focus to the development of their renewable energy sources. The Philippine government has laid down regulatory and policy framework for the utilization of these renewable sources of energy. Exploration on wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, solar and ocean energy is being considered. Sen. Loren Legarda, who is also the founder of Luntiang Pilipinas (Greening of the Philippines) Foundation, and other government officials are pushing the use of renewable sources to further protect the Philippine environment. And aside from the programs on renewable energy, they are also campaigning on the improvement of energy efficiency and conservation and environmental conservation. Examples are the campaigns for National Efficiency and Conservation Program (NEECP), Philippine Clean Air Act and Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (PESWMA). 

While these are all possible solutions, however the perfect solution that takes along all these regulations is the joint venture agreement between local government units and Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation (SBSC) regarding the deployment of the biosphere gasification facility. The Biosphere Process™ or Biosphere Technology is the latest breakthrough on waste management and power generation.

The joint venture agreement was accepted under the local government code of 1991 (R.A. No. 7160) and the PESWMA of 2000 (R.A. No. 9003), where as local government units are authorized to institute solid waste disposal systems or environmental management systems, and to set up environmentally sound solid waste management facilities, and accord greater private sector participation in its solid waste management system. SBSC has now existing contracts with City of San Fernando Pampanga, Sta Rosa Laguna, Naga City, Tanjay City, Dumaguete City and Bayawan City.

The Greenest Solution for Environmental Problems

The Biosphere 6MW-MK-V Turbine

Though there are various solutions available for environmental concerns, like the use of biofuels, and other researches on science such as capturing of energy from yeast and genetically engineered bacteria, but the probably one winning solution and most interesting one is the use of wastes to generate electricity like what biosphere process do.The Biosphere Process or Biosphere Technology is a form of gasification wherein it destroys traditional and non-traditional waste materials to generate electricity. Imagine, it help clean up the environment at the same time it generates green energy. A single biosphere facility can recycle up to 720 tons of garbage and destroy up to 172 tons of non-recyclable garbage per day. It also operates on a Zero Waste Philosophy wherein it recycles all feedstocks back into nature or the marketplace in a way that protects both public health and our environment. Unlike other standard gasification processes biosphere process it does not pollute the environment since it uses a limited-oxygen process that limits atmospheric emissions.

However, critics say that it would fail to replace oil within a reasonable time. But come to think of it, we will only remain dependent on oil for as long as we use it. What SBSC (Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation) suggests and continues to inculcate is to consider the valid benefits from biosphere process. Aside from the environmental benefits, it also offers a great investment opportunity. The entire process itself produces not only electricity but other by-products as well including gallons of distilled water, Pozzolanic ash, fertilizers/composts, high alloy steel wire and carbon black. The Biosphere can produce $85,000,000/yr. with an overhead of $250,000 excluding a workforce of 25 people, and this profit estimation is increasing with every new innovation.What more we could ask for?

Undeniably this technology is set to change the future and can make true changes in energy. What every country needs to do now is to invest heavily on renewable energy such as this instead of exhausting their resources just to target oil reserves thereby risking our environment.
