Philippine Focus Towards Renewable Energies◦Biofuels Act of 2007 Mandated 5% bioethanol in Gasoline, 1%
biodiesel in Petrodiesel (first 4 years)
◦Renewable Energy Act of 2008 Philippines 60% Energy Self-sufficient
by 2010 Cut oil imports
1. Cleaner and Greener Community
2. Mission of DLSU University◦“…leading research university in
Southeast Asia.”
◦“…the institution will train leaders…who will participate actively in improving the quality of life in Philippine society”
A DLSU-based online database and research networking site that
primarily aims to promote research in renewable
energy and other forms of “clean-tech”
Increase INTERNAL Research Collaboration
◦ By publicizing the researches made by students and faculties of different colleges
◦ By facilitating online networking and discussion of ideas
Increase EXTERNAL Research Collaboration
By making external partners – academe, industry, venture capitalists – aware of University researches as well
DLSU-Manila Library Website
