Forest biomass for the electrification of the one isolated community with technology of gasification
Main Article Content
Abstract
The biomass is an excellent matter and can be used, by means of the gasification technology, in the efficient generation of electricity, replacing fossil fuel in generating plants. The objective of the present work is to demonstrate the possibilities of the forest biomass for the electric power production by means of the gasification technology. The study was carried out in one isolated community so called “The Veguera” of Guáimaro, Camagüey, according to the potential existing of biomass from marabou (Dichrostachys cinerea ) and the possibility of installation one bioelectric of gasification acquired from the International Project Marabu Biomass, In a first stage Dichrostachys cinerea (L.) Wr. et Arn and to guarantee the sustainability supply with new plantation of two energy species as Eucalyptus pellet F. Muell. and Acacia mangium Willd. A generation of 823,5 kW obtained for the service 24 hours with what the electrification of the community.
