"AEC 2015 is a tagline or catchphrase that cameabout as a means to remind people that thetarget date for establishing the ASEAN Eco-nomic Community is in 2015 - thus AEC 2015.

With the regional integration upon our doorstep, theDepartment of Trade and Industry (DTI) conducteda "Briefing on the ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMU-NITY for Multi-stakeholders" last November 14 atthe Metro Centre in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

The briefing involved a roundtable discussion par-ticipated by industry representatives, local and na-tional media.

The objective of the briefing was to promote aware-ness and proper understanding of the opportunitiesand challenges of the ASEAN Economic Commu-nity (AEC).

Issues related to economic prospects and develop-ment agenda of the Philippines, industry and busi-ness practices and consumer protection in relationto the AEC were also discussed.

The DTI encouraged local stakeholders to ensure

that MSMEs benefit from being part of the ASEANEconomic Community. The department said thatinterventions to support MSMEs include brandingand promotions, design, mentorship, productionand quality enhancement programs, as well asavailability of financial loans and shared servicefacilities, such as the Bohol Fabrication Laboratory(Fablab).

5 Radiant Energy

This natural energy can perform the same wonders as ordinary electricity at lessthan 1% of the cost. It does not behave exactly like electricity, however, which

has contributed to the scientific communitys misunderstanding of it. This naturalenergy form can be gathered directly from the environment or extracted fromordinary electricity by the method called fr actionation.

4 Geothermal Power

Geothermal energy is a very powerful and efficient way to extract a renewableenergy from the earth through natural processes. This can be performed on asmall scale to provide heat for a residential unit (a geothermal heat pump), or ona very large scale for energy production through a geothermal power plant.Geothermal power is cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly, buthas previously been geographically limited to areas near tectonic plate bounda-ries.

3 Biomass

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, refers to living and recently dead bio-logical material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. In this con-text, biomass refers to plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce forexample trash such as dead tr ees and branches, yard clippings and wood chipsbiofuel, and it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibers,chemicals or heat. Biomass may also i nclude biodegradable wastes that can beburnt as fuel.

2 Compressed Natural Gas

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline, diesel, orpropane fuel. Although its combustion does produce greenhouse gases, it is amore environmentally clean alternative to those fuels, and it is much safer thanother fuels in the event of a spill (natural gas is lighter t han air, and dispersesquickly when released).

1 Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is any nuclear technology designed to extract usable energy fromatomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions. The only method in use today isthrough nuclear fission, though other methods might one day include nuclearfusion and radioactive decay.

Source: http://listverse.com

There are many sources of energy that are renewable and

considered to be environmentally friendly and harness natural

processes. These sources of energy provide an alternate

cleaner source of energy, helping to negate the effects ofcertain forms of pollution. .

10 Tidal Power

Tidal energy can be generated in two ways, tidal stream generators or by bar-rage generation. The power created though t idal generators is generally moreenvironmentally friendly and causes less impact on established ecosystems.

9 Wave Power

Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the captureof that energy to do useful work for example for electricity generation, waterdesalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave energy can bedifficult to harness due to the unpredictability of the ocean and wave direction.

8 Solar Power

Photovoltaic (PV) Solar power is harnessing the suns energy to produce electric-ity. One of t he fastest growing energy sources, new technologies are developingat a rapid pace. Solar cells are becoming more efficient, transportable and evenflexible, allowing for easy installation. PV has mainly been used to power smalland medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solarcell to off-grid homes powered by a photovoltaic array.

7 Wind Power

Wind power is the conversion of wind energy by wind turbines into a useful form,such as electricity or mechanical energy. Large-scale wind farms are t ypicallyconnected to the local power t ransmission network with small turbines used to

provide electricity to isolated areas.

6 Hydroelectricity

Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by hydropower, i.e., the production ofpower through use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is themost widely used form of renewable energy. Once a hydroelectric complex isconstructed, the project produces no direct waste.
