Havana, November 8 (RHC-ACN)-- Latin American experts participating in the International Renewable Energy Workshop in Havana are exploring possible cooperation agreements for the development of this industrial section in the region.

The event, taking place at Havana's Conference Center and attended by hundreds of delegates, welcomed the presentation of several projects implemented on the Isla de la Juventud (the Isle of Youth), where it already operates a modern biomass gasification plant.

Some experts have called for a field study to reveal appropriate places to install infrastructure for obtaining such energies. The fuel gas obtained from biomass gasification can be exploited in various ways: in the production of electricity and/or thermal energy at a lower cost than that generated by traditional industries and without affecting the environment.

It is a difficult path despite the benefits, experts say, because generating renewable energy for commercial purposes provokes the large multinational companies to block the entry of the product on the world market to try to prevent lower prices and undermine the high prices of other resources.

However, they agree that it is ideal for developing countries, as the industries that opt for the renewable model assume a double benefit. They generate energy from biomass and work simultaneously with the obtained fuel.

Biomass gasification is a thermo-chemical process in which this natural resource, usually of wood origin, is transformed into a combustible gas, which increases value to energy generation.
