Final evaluation of the project for the promotion of biomass-derived energy (PROBIOMASA)
Overview
According to data from the National Energy Balance in 2008| 90% of the total supply of energy in Argentina came from fossil fuels. A progressive increase in the consumption of liquid fossil fuels for the production of electricity was identified| with a negative environmental impact as a consequence of the polluting emissions of greenhouse gases.
The project for the promotion of biomass-derived energy (PROBIOMASA) seeks to increase the supply of renewable and competitive energy through the production of biomass-derived energy at the local level.
PROBIOMASA increased the participation of bioenergy in the national and local energy matrix. However| the costs of biomass-derived energy generation are high compared to other renewable energies| and the competitive advantage of bioenergy lies in the positive externalities it generates. Such benefits should be more integrated in the design of future projects.
