Energy sources in the philippines
- 1. N O N - R E N E W A B L E E N E R G Y S O U R C E SE N E R G Y S O U R C E S I N T H E P H I L I P P I N E S 11 F O S S I L F U E L R E N E W A B L E H Y D R O P O W E R G E O T H E R M A L S O L A R E N E R G Y W I N D P O W E R B I O M A S S Derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water Thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity Power obtained by harnessing the energy of the wind. Biomass is plant or animal material used for energy production Fuel formed by natural processes that release energy in combustion.
- 2. ENERGY SOURCES Fossil fuel The Philippines’ current energy mix highly favors fossil fuels, with coal, natural gas, and oil, accounting for 73.56% of the country's total electrical energy needs, DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES > Readily available > Relatively easy to produce energy from them > Will eventually run out > Increasing fuel costs > Release carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) when burnt TriviaTriviaTrivia COAL IS THE COUNTRY'S DOMINANT ENERGY SOURCE WITH A 52 % SHARE IN GROSS POWER GENERATION AS OF DECEMBER 2018, FOLLOWED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES (GEOTHERMAL, HYDRO, SOLAR, AND WIND) WITH 22 % AND NATURAL GAS AT 21 %
- 3. Geothermal energy The Philippines is one of the world's top producers of geothermal power, owing to its location along the Ring of Fire zone of Pacific volcanoes. DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES > No cost fluctuations determined by gas and oil prices. > 30%-60% savings on heating and 25%-50% savings on cooling. ENERGY SOURCES THE PHILIPPINES IS LOCATED IN A RELATIVELY ACTIVE SEISMIC AREA, GEOTHERMAL ENERGY ALLOWS THE COUNTRY TO USE THIS TO ITS ADVANTAGE. CURRENTLY, THE PH RANKS SECOND IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY PRODUCTION. > Geothermal power plants generate small amounts of sulfur dioxide and silica emissions. The reservoirs can also contain traces of toxic heavy metals including mercury, arsenic, and boron. TriviaTriviaTrivia
- 4. Hydropower Hydroelectricity centers in the Philippines 2,900 megawatts of electricity DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES> Renewable > Non-polluting > The hydroelectric life cycle produces very small amounts of greenhouse gasses. > Promotes guaranteed energy and price stability ENERGY SOURCES ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION IN THE PHILIPPINES IS STILL DOMINATED BY THERMAL RESOURCES (NATURAL GAS AND COAL), ALTHOUGH HYDROPOWER IS BY FAR THE LARGEST RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE WITH AN ACTUAL TOTAL SHARE OF 20%. > Hydroelectricity can disrupt wildlife habitat > The system depends on precipitation levels, which can fluctuate from year to year, causing instability TriviaTriviaTrivia
- 5. Solar Energy The Philippines ranked No. 1 among developing countries in Asia in terms of the use of solar photovoltaic systems for electricity generation, according to a Dutch consultancy firm. DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES > Renewable Energy Source > Reduces Electricity Bills > Low Maintenance Costs > Solar energy can be used for diverse purposes. You can generate electricity (photovoltaics) or heat (solar thermal) ENERGY SOURCES IN 2013, LEANDRO LEVISTE FOUNDED SOLAR PHILIPPINES WHILE ONLY AS A SOPHOMORE AT YALE UNIVERSITY. TODAY HE CONTINUES TO LEAD SOLAR PHILIPPINES, SOUTHEAST ASIA’S LARGEST AND ONLY INTEGRATED SOLAR DEVELOPER, INVESTOR, MANUFACTURER, AND EPC, SOLAR COMPANY. > Weather Dependent > Solar Energy Storage Is Expensive > Uses a Lot of Space > Solar energy can be associated with pollution TriviaTriviaTrivia
- 6. Wind Energy Wind power in the Philippines makes up a small percentage of the total energy output of the Philippines. The country wind energy sector has significant potential and could provide up to 76GW of power. DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES > Clean & Environment friendly fuel source > Renewable & Sustainable: > Cost Effective > Wind turbines uses only a fraction of the land ENERGY SOURCES THE 150MW BURGOS WIND FARM IN ILOCOS NORTE IS THE BIGGEST WIND FARM IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THE FIRST WIND PROJECT NOMINATED FOR THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT’S FEED-IN-TARIFF (FIT) INCENTIVE SCHEME. > Wind energy has a drawback, that it is not a constant energy source > Wind turbines generate noise and visual pollution > Birds have been killed by flying into spinning turbine blades TriviaTriviaTrivia
- 7. Biomass The Philippines has large and abundant supplies of biomass resources. The most common agricultural waste are rice hull, bagasse, coconut shell husk and coconut coir. DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES >By burning solid waste, the amount of garbage dumped in landfills is reduced by 60- 90 % > It is carbon neutral. > It reduces the overreliance of fossil fuels. > Is less expensive than fossil fuels. ENERGY SOURCES NEARLY 30 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY FOR THE 100 MILLION PLUS PEOPLE LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES COMES FROM BIOMASS, AND IS MAINLY USED FOR HOUSEHOLD COOKING BY THE RURAL POPULATION > Biomass energy is not as efficient as fossil fuels > Requires large amount of space > Biomass energy is not entirely clean. Some greenhouse gases are still produced TriviaTriviaTrivia
