The sun is a tremendous source of generating clean and sustainable energy. It produces energy without any trace of CO2 emissions and toxic pollutants. The potential environmental impacts of solar energy vary greatly depending on technology – photovoltaic (PV) cells or concentrating solar thermal plants (CSP). The size and scale of the system are to be […]
Many are wondering why solar panels are able to generate electricity during the rainy season. It has been a stigma that solar panels are useless in the rainy or cloudy season of the year. Photovoltaic panels have dominated the market for solar powered systems. The science of generating electricity with solar panels boils down to the […]
Oil prices continue to hit harder on the economy and consumers since the rise of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, world oil crisis, tight supply chains and weakening of Philippine peso against dollar. Comparing diesel prices last January and today, it has almost doubled its price which is at 97% increase. The major sources of electricity in […]
Solar energy is proven as one of the most promising energy sources. It has established a wide use in the global energy mix. Despite its potential and proven benefits over the years, the Philippines is lagging behind in policy implementation and deployment. Meanwhile, Southeast Asian countries are already counting years embracing solar power. Urgent implementation […]
Fossil fuels have been our major source of energy ever since. A study from the Russian Academy of Science implies that until the end of the century, fossil fuel will be in demand. However, aside from the fact that these fossil fuel plants stress our environment, it will also be inevitably inadequate. Hence, the cost […]
According to recent estimates, the world’s current population is at 7.6 billion, continuously growing through time. With this, there is also an adjacent estimate of at least 1.8 billion cars on the road; the demand and usage of parking slots are heavy. It has been noted that in most cities, 40% of the area is […]
Each year, an average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines. Due to climate change, typhoons in the Philippines have become more powerful and more catastrophic than ever. In December 2021, a disastrous typhoon–Typhoon Odette–devastated the Visayas and Mindanao islands, leaving over 3 million people without electricity. Importance of Energy Electricity has been a significant contributor […]
Amid the worsening of climate change, the focus has shifted to using sustainable alternatives. Transportation industries worldwide are switching the gears from petroleum-driven vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Many companies are now developing EVs, including airplanes and buses. EVs are on the rise for being the cleaner and greener choice. Fuelled by Petroleum For decades, […]
Climate Data plays a critical role in the prevailing climate change. With global temperatures on the rise, climate change poses a profound challenge for economies and communities. It is extremely urgent to shift to a more sustainable, resilient society and economy before climate crisis causes irreversible damage to every life on Earth. Leveraging Climate Data […]
