1. Write a concise abstract for a research article conducted in the community related to
renewable sources of energy.
Abstract
This paper focused on the importance of renewable energy to Philippine energy security
and sustainability agenda. It examined the status of renewable energy in the Philippines
and discussed the opportunities and challenges in the further development and
deployment of renewable energy. This research relied on secondary data from the
Philippine Department of Energy, ASEAN Centre for Energy, World Bank, and APEC
Secretariat. Relevant informative journalistic reports were also consulted. Among the
major findings are: (1) renewable energy will account for an increasingly significant
share of the Philippine energy mix for power generation in the foreseeable future and
(2) fossil fuels, oil in particular, however, will remain the dominant energy source.
Whether or not the Philippine government will achieve its renewable energy targets
largely depends on how efficient and fast it will be in addressing the related issues. This
study builds on the existing knowledge base on Philippine renewable energy. Keywords:
energy policy, energy security, renewable energy, the Philippines
2. Conduct an interview with a community leader and describe how he/she presents the
concept of energy and energy renewal among constituents.
3. Describe various alternative sources of energy that Philippines can rely upon.
Clean and renewable energy sources like geothermal, hydo, win biomass and
solar energy are among the Philippines alternative sources of energy.
Relying more on renewal of energy has brought down the cost of electricity
with fuel diversity, shielding Filipinos from price fluctuations as no fuel cost is
incurred.
