Description
Summary:Currently, the world is searching for new ways to take advantage of clean energy. An opportunity in this sense, are the organic wastes produced by human activities or naturally in the environment. Another promising opportunity is energy crops as biomass resources. This work presents a research proposal for the use of solid organic wastes, such as paper and cardboard, pruning remains, wood remnants and biomass material from Paja Canalera (a tall grass type related to sugar cane), to produce solid fuel by pelletizing said materials. The physical-chemical properties and calorific value per unit of volume of the material obtained will be evaluated.
