Green Technology

Many countries around the world will participate in this year’s Earth Hour tomorrow, March 27. This is a global event held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their unnecessary lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. I am fully supporting this worthy cause and I’m strongly encouraging everyone to participate and help raise awareness in the increasing need to address the effects of climate change.

However, I do hope that this advocacy is not only good for one hour. We should look for ways on how we can conserve energy and save our planet. We should look for other sources of alternative energy which will not contribute to global warming. Perhaps, more research should be focused on opportunity fuels and other sources of renewable energy as these can provide cheap and reliable alternative to fossil fuels. It is a good thing that clean coal technologies were developed to help mitigate the effects of climate change. This is a good start.

I do hope that more efforts will focus on converting waste to energy more efficiently. It will be good if organic wastes or waste streams can be utilized or recycled to produce valuable products. It will be a big relief to government and municipalities if there’s a more efficient technology that will address their bio solids and waste products.

This is the technology that N-Viro International Corporation has successfully developed and patented. Their processes employ lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion by-products to treat, pasteurize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products. What’s good about their technologies is it safely and efficiently transform waste streams into beneficial reuse products.
