Remote Sensing (RS) technology using SENTINEL-2 Multispectral Instrument (MSI) imagery was used in the estimation of residual biomass’ available energy potential. The estimation was done in Panglao Island, within the province of Bohol, Philippines. Estimation of biomass availability was processed using Geographical Information System (GIS) software incorporating the calculation of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to extract information on land resources and its spatial distribution. It was found that the majority of vegetation cover on the island is in the form of perennial woody plants and coconut trees. Coconut production on the island of Panglao contributed 1.26% of the total cultivation area for the province based on processed captures of Sentinel-2 imagery. The residue concentration amounted to 2,865 tons of coconut residues based on the RPR method. This amount of residues can be translated to 52.92 TJ of theoretical energy potential. The result of this study may serve as a baseline for the locality to consider the utilization of agricultural residues such as coming from coconut trees to support the use of indigenous resources for energy generation.
