This video talk about the future of biomass in the Philippines and how it can change the economy from coal powered to an eco-friendly energy source. The key points of the video focuses on how our country can utilize an abundant source of biomass and the positive impacts of it. The presentation includes data from the past years (international and local data) and how we can use it to modify present technologies or predict the future of energy sources. Graphs and statistics are well presented making it easier to understand the information being discussed. Some technical difficulty that I encountered is the volume of the video (or the maybe my device is the problem), some words are not delivered clearly so I have to play it again; nevertheless I don’t find any problem other than that.
The key points of the video were supported by facts and reasonable arguments. The speaker included the challenges and what are the roles of different sectors, especially Chemical Engineers in achieving the wide use of biomass instead of coal. The problems or disadvantages of biomass were included so as how it were addressed. By presenting the potential of different feed stocks, the speaker allowed the viewers or audience to get interested on researching more in order to know how we can utilize these sources more effectively. He also highlighted that the problem about the land intended for food was gradually used for biomass and energy can be solve by focusing on the residual non-food second generation residues. One of the ideas that convinced me how beneficial it is to our economy thus to people, is when the positive ripple effect of using biomass as an energy source was discussed.
Through the comparisons of various energy sources, biomass seems to be competitive and possess high potential as the country’s major source of energy. If every single sector responsible for generating this energy will cooperate, it is not impossible for us to be freed from environmental destructive power source and we can develop a low-carbon economy. As whole, the video is informative and enables the audience to get inspired of engaging more about biomass and seek various ways to utilize for the betterment of our economy.
Thanks for reading ❤️❤️❤️
