The Cordova Desalination Plant spans the barangays of Buagsong and Catarman, Poblacion of Cordova municipality in Cebu standing on a 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) property. [3] Using seawater reverse osmosis technology, it has the capacity to produce 20 million L (5.3 million US gal) of water daily serving residents of Metro Cebu. This can be ...
The concept of ecotowns is not unique to the Philippines, however, the country’s application of this framework prioritizes the idea of climate adaptation. The approach of the CCC’s Ecotown Demonstration Framework is therefore to mainstream climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in local development activities, plans and programs.
The government has taken steps to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the changing climate, but much more needs to be done to reduce the impacts of climate change on the country and its people. The Philippines must continue to prioritize climate action to build a more sustainable and resilient future. [56]
Water can evaporate through several other physical effects besides solar irradiation. These effects have been included in a multidisciplinary desalination methodology in the IBTS Greenhouse. The IBTS is an industrial desalination (power)plant on one side and a greenhouse operating with the natural water cycle (scaled down 1:10) on the other side.
A 2010 land cover mapping by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) revealed that the total forest cover of the Philippines is 6,839,718 hectares (68,397.18 km 2) or 23% of the country's total area of 30,000,000 hectares (300,000 km 2). [2]
Estimates put construction of a plant generating 30 million gallons of water per day at about $541.5 million, with a total cost of $757.5 million.
Nevertheless, the country is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. [9] GHG emissions in the Philippines are rising. [10] Over 41% of the country's GHG emissions come from the burning of coal and fuel oil for electricity generation, [10] with many coal plants being technically unable to ramp down. [11]
Geothermal desalination refers to the process of using geothermal energy to power the process of converting salt water to fresh water. The process is considered economically efficient, and while overall environmental impact is uncertain, it has potential to be more environmentally friendly compared to conventional desalination options.
