Biogas
Biogas plants take wastes such as animal manure, plant material, biomass and food wastes. In the plant the waste is digested and used as a biofuel, producing biogas with a composition of up to 60% methane. The biogas produced can in turn be used for cooking, lighting, or energy generation, ...
Brazilian Biomass Project
Project Details
This fuel switch project uses biomass material to fuel a boiler, displacing fossils fuels to create green energy
Region
Project Type
The project uses biomass waste material from local wood and paper waste to fuel a boiler and turbine. This replaces the original oil fired boilers and reduces the plants electricity consumption from the grid.
The installation of the biomass boiler produces steam from wood biomass residues which are a by-product of the paper production process. These residues are then burned in the boiler to produce high pressure steam which is then used to create electricity.
The project is certified by the Verified Carbon Standard.
