Module 1

• Renewable resources - are resources that can be replenished in a short period of time
• Non-renewable - resources that cannot be replaced easily, take million years to form
• Hydroelectric power - moving water may be powerful offer of energy
• • The facility controlled from moving bodies of water is called electricity power.
• • The Philippines makes use of two ways so as to harness power; dam storage or poundage, and run-of-river. 
• whereas poundage makes use of artificial dams in order to store water
• run-of-river depends on flowing bodies of water like waterfalls.
• • Electricity power plants within the Philippines area unit settled in Pangasinan, Benguet, Laguna, Isabela, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Ilocos Sur, Bohol, Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Davao del Sur, and Misamis Oriental.
• • Geothermal energy comes from the warmth below the Earth’s surface.
• • There are two ways of extracting heat energy utilized in the Philippines: flash steam and the binary cycle. 
• Heat energy extracted through flash-steaming extracts water with a temperature higher than 182 °C exploitation steam pipes. The steam is used to power turbines that generate energy, whereas the remaining water is discharged into the bottom.
• • The binary-method extracts water at a lower temperature than flash steaming. The extracted water is then wont to boil an operating liquid with a lower boiling purpose which will power the rotary engine. The water is additionally discharged into the bottom.
• • Geothermic plants within the Philippines area unit situated in Laguna, Sorsogon, Albay, Batangas, Negros Occidental, Leyte, and North Cotabato.
• hydroelectric power - Angat HE plant, Pantabangan HE plant
• geothermal powerplants - maibarara geothermal power plant, tiwi geothermal power plant
• • Solar energy is used as a supply of energy within the Philippines through industrial sized photovoltaic plants within the country.
• • Major solar farms within the Philippines will be found in Cavite, Pampanga, Ilocos Norte, and Cagayan De Oro.
• Solar energy power plats - Raslag solar powerplant, CEPALCO solar photovoltaic powerplant
• • Like water, moving air additionally generates energy through wind turbines that provide mechanical energy through mechanical power. 
• Wind farms - Burgos wind farm, san Lorenzo wind farm
• • Biomass could be a matter typically thought of as garbage. It includes dead trees, leftover crops, wood chips, bark, sawdust, rubbish, corn stalk, and even animal manure.
• • Biomass power plants within the Philippines are in Isabela, Nueva Ecija, Rizal, Laguna, Isabela, and railway line Manila.
• • Wind power generation plants within the Philippines settled in IlocosNorte, Rizal, Guimaras, and Aklan.
• • Coal, oil, and gas are the major types of fossil fuels. These are organic remains of plants and animals that died million years past. 
• • Biomass is a component of fossil fuel. 
• • coal - could be a black or chromatic black solid rock that is combustible.
• • The largest deposit of coal is found in Semirara Island, Antique. 
• • coal mines also are settled in Cebu, Zamboanga Sibugay, Albay, Surigao, and Negros Provinces. 
• crude oil/ petroleum - mainly composed of hydrocarbons which where formed more than 300 million years ago.
• • This can be done through fractional-distillation. This method separates the crude oil into its components because of its differences in boiling points.
• Oil fields - Galoc oil field, Alegria oil field
• • The Philippines possesses 3.9 cubic feet of natural gas reserves. 
• natural gas - mostly made up of methane (CH4), a highly flammable gas. It is usually found near petroleum underground. 
• • malampaya provide 40-45% of Luzon’s power generation requirements
• Nuclear Energy - is generated using radioactive elements such 

      as uranium and plutonium.
• There are talks on reviving the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). Senate Bill 2729 and House Bill 4631 were passed in response to this action.
