Description
Summary:In this work, analyses are performed on international reports applicable to Argentina regarding the use of biomass for energy generation. More specific trends in the national context are also analyzed, and then a more detailed study is performed for Córdoba, one of the three provinces in the so-called Central Region. Córdoba was chosen not only due to its large availability of biomass and wide range of agricultural production, but also because of its favorable regulation promoting energy generation with regional biomass. It becomes clear that projects using dry biomass are very limited in number and scale in this province. Considering previous studies, including articles by the authors on energy applications of regional biomass such as sorghum, esparto grass or corn, it can be hinted that the use of dry biomass resources for energy generation is well below the capacity in the chosen province.
