The ever increasing demands for energy/ power make it difficult for the producers to sustain and maintain their present capacity. New plants have to be built or capacities increased. The direction for most government/countries at the moment is to develop alternative energies sources and specifically renewable energy and preferably within the vicinity of the end users. This renewable energy is likewise to address the problem of climate-change, considered a major threat to the survival of humanity.
Among the renewable energy sources identified in the Philippines, bio-mass fuels are most likely one of the best options that will give practical and easy solutions to the end users. This bio-mass are rice husks, wood, saw dusts, baggase, coconut shell and other similar waste products that are abundant or common in many areas in the Philippines. They are cheap sources of fuel for steam boilers to drive the Micro-Steam Turbine generators. Micro-Steam Turbine Generators (MTG) or Micro-Steam Turbine(MST) operate with very high efficiency, compact size and can generate as much as 275 Kw enough to power say 200 homes.
