  • The Coconut As a Renewable Energy Source
    The Coconut as a Renewable Energy Source By Julian A. Banzon, Ph.D., Academician ABSTRACT-SUMMARY The hopes that plants will be the renewable energy source of the fu. ture is dimmed by the possibility that such energy plantations may have to take over the lands needed for food crops. An energy inventoryof the Coco· nut Tree shows a uniqueness in being able to provide both Food and Fuel without need for periodic replanting or re-growing for well over 50 years. The Philippine annual harvest of 12 billion nuts from plantings of 377 million coconut trees, furnish an annual harvestable biomass of 18.9 million metric 12 tons with an energy �quivalent of 85.9 x to kilocalories. The food calories (oil and oil-meal) constitute 17.5% of the total calories. The major portion (32.5%) of the calories is then useable for fuel. Thus the coconut is to be looked upon more an an Energy tree. The magnitude of this energy reser­ voir (equal to ca 35 million barrels of petro oil) should spur concentrated research directed at utilization. Discussed in the paper, is the energy value in terms of LPG, of a coco­ nut, a coconut tree and a hectare of such trees. The information helps answer such questions as: how can coconut trees make the family kitchen self­ sufficient in fuel? Our predicament re-energy, is too well-known to be further discussed. Several steps have been taken to help alleviate the situation. Let me summarize: 1. sugar cane to produce ethanol 2. starchy material, e.g.

    About the Colloquium Paliwanagan sa UP Diliman—OVCRD Colloquium 2013 is the third Paliwanagan event organized by the OVCRD. Paliwanagan is a biannual activity that aims to create greater public awareness and appreciation of R&D in UP Diliman. In the first two Paliwanagan events – held in January and September 2012, respectively – the Colloquium highlighted OVCRD-funded research and creative work projects. As a parallel activity during the January 2012 Paliwanagan, booths showcasing UP Diliman journals were set up. During the September 2012 Paliwanagan, the parallel event was a Fair featuring the UP Diliman exhibition for the 2012 National Science and Technology Week. Inspired by the enthusiastic response of the UP Diliman community, the OVCRD is taking the R&D discourse (i.e. paliwanagan) several steps further by introducing several new elements in the January 2013 Colloquium. Foremost of these is the focus on institutional research and creative work initiatives, as against last year’s events’ spotlight on individual and team projects. Second is the conduct of an inventory of research, creative work and extension units in UP Diliman. Third is the presentation of the outputs of the inventory in a compilation, copies of which will be distributed during the event. In general, Paliwanagan sa UP Diliman aims to: a) showcase UP Diliman R&D programs, projects and initiatives; b) acquaint UP Diliman constituents with the research and creative work initiatives of their colleagues in other UP Diliman units; c) discuss available institutional support for UP Diliman researchers and creative workers; and d) highlight the complete R&D cycle from proposal writing through intellectual property creation, dissemination, and utilization.

Blume] varieties and natural mutants were characterized phenotypically based on the leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, leaf shape, leaf margin, leaf base and leaf apices. The leaf and petiole color were also characterized based on the Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society of London (RHS 1966 5th ed.). The different varieties and natural mutants were grouped based on their predominant leaf color, hence giving rise to the establishment of the red-leaf group, green-leaf group and yellow-leaf group varieties. A relatively small morphological variation was observed within each of the three groups in terms of quantitative traits like leaf length, leaf width, and petiole length. However, large variability was observed for qualitative traits including: leaf shape, leaf margin, leaf base and leaf apices. In addition, large variation for leaf and petiole colors within the red-leaf, green-leaf and yellow-leaf groups were observed. In particular, leaf color variation was unique in each of the 36 croton varieties and natural mutants characterized.

    World Market Conditions, Government Policy, and the Coconut Industry in the Philippines by Eric L. Hyman, Ph.D. IEvaluation Economist Appropriate Technology international 1331 H St., NW Washington, DC 20005 Article-length version: Submitted to Agricultural Administration and Extension April 20, 1988 The viewpoints expressed here are those of the author and not necessarily those of Appropriate3 Technology International The author (ATI). would like to thank Paul Bundick (ATI) fcr assistance his in arranging this study and Julian Banzon (Professor Emeritus, University of the Philippines at Los Banos), Cuano marita (Filipinas Foundation), and Arturo Jimenez (Consultant the Filipinas to Foundation) for providing essential data. Helpful comments on this draft were received from Paul Bundick, Mike O'Donnell, and Glenn Patterson. ABSTRACT The Philippines has the largest planted area the of coconuts in world and this crop provides a significant amount of and employment income for smallholders and landless laborers. Nearly all of the coconut harvested is converted into copra for subsequent processing. The bulk of production is exported crude as coconut oil for industrial uses and copra cake for animal feed. Most of the rest goes into refined, edible oil for the domestic market. The industry is subject to major in oscillations supply and demand from year to year. Production is dominated by large-scale firms currently operating at a low capacity use rate. Real prices may trend downward in the long expanded run due to production from an expansion in the planted area greater and reliance on high-yield variet!es, substitution of otner oils, and trade policies of importing countries.
