Agrosyngas

Description

Use of agroforestry biomass to generate renewable energy through pelletization and thermal gasification.

Sector

A2.1Silviculture and other forestry activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Agricultural and forestry operations generate large amounts of woody residues and biomass that are often unused and can become an environmental issue. Additionally, many farms need sustainable energy sources for heating and electricity, still largely dependent on fossil fuels.

Objective

To convert these agroforestry residues into useful renewable energy through pelletization and gasification, promoting self-consumption of energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and contributing to the environmental sustainability of the agricultural sector.
