Oslo has a big problem and PH should consider helping
http://www.yugatech.com/news/oslo-has-big-a-problem-and-ph-should-consider-helping/
Now I know you’re probably wondering why our country, which is already facing issues left and right, should help the capital city of Norway with its rather peculiar concern. Believe it or not folks, it’s a win-win solution for both countries and one that can ultimately help in solving our issues with flooding here in the metro.
Oslo’s problem: the city is running out of garbage. That’s right, the city of 1.4 million is facing shortage of wastes. In fact, they’ve been faced with this issue in the past and have even resorted to importing garbage from neighboring cities and countries. But it was still not enough and there have been talks of bringing in trash from the US.
So why is the city running out of trash? Besides the fact that they implement a highly-efficient garbage collection system, the city also owns a trash incinerator that turns crap to usable energy. Since its conception, the facility has been one of the sources of electricity in the city and it helped in minimizing wastes that is being put to landfills.
But the problem here is that the city is not generating enough garbage (what a problem ‘eh?) to sustain the facility, that’s why the city had to import trash from other cities and countries. On the other hand, we have so much crap that we don’t know where to put all of it. Heck, even our rivers are filled with garbage, that’s how much garbage we have lying around.
Which brings me to my suggestion; why don’t our country donate our garbage to Oslo? Or better yet, why don’t we build our own facility so we don’t even have to export our waste half –way around the world to get of rid of it and turn it to something useful.
Sounds like a good plan, right? However, the Secretary of DENR, Mr. Ramon Jesus Paje has a different take on this matter which he mentioned during an interview with ANC a couple of years back:
“If we allow incineration of our waste, we must avail of state-of-the-art technology, almost zero emission. The only problem is the Philippines is one of the highest in terms of electricity cost and incineration is basically electricity. If power [cost] is so high, it becomes uneconomical.”

Interesting post. I will further read up on it. Plus 1k.
-
really interesting...the philippine gov't should be aware of this and try to gain the technology they are using to eliminate the garbage around the philippines especially in manila....will help the power generation at the same time remove the garbage problem that will definitely contribute in limiting the always flooded metropolis during rainy season.....
+1K para sa iyo....

Are you serious imoy? It's not the garbage that is the problem but the goddamn people who throw them. A sign of a highly discipline society is they don't generate that much waste. Which we are not. Our country will forever be a stinking shit hole.

siguro kaya ayaw dito yan sa bansa natin ay dahil maraming ma-aapektohan tulad ng, hihina ang kita sa kuryente at dahil hindi na problema ang basura paano na ang lagay galing sa mga nag-nenegosyo ng pagkulekta ng basura at ang baha, mawawala ang mga baha walang kailangan ayusin talo nanaman ang negosyo pag-ganyan. kaya malabo magkaroon tayo ng trash incinerator sa bansa
-
Sus! yayaman tayo pag nag-export tayo ng basura. Dami kaya sa mga estero pa lang
-
No garbage means no more need for agency needed to monitor them... thus no job! No job means no food.. no food means dedo...
-
Sec. Paje miss the point. The object of waste incineration is to produce energy or electricity. His concern on the emissions is so minor, you only need a good scrubber and a wastewater treatment plant to address it.
