Biomass energy potential in Manabí province

Abstract

The present work aims to determine the energy potential of biomass in the province of Manabí, having as main actors the residues of cocoa, dry corn, bananas, and African palm, these being the products with the greatest abundance within the province since during Its production is constant throughout the year and this allows it to be used as a base for energy production. The increase in greenhouse gases in the production of consumable electrical energy has led to a significant advance in the development of biologically friendly alternatives. Among these alternatives, one of the options for immediate implementation is obtaining energy through the combustion of conventionally wasted waste, also known as biomass.
