On May 20 the government announced the GENRE program (Renewable Generation), by which the state company ENARSA will call for tender the purchase of electricity produced through renewable energy. The ceremony held at Government House in the presence of the President of the Nation-Cristina F. Kirchner, the Secretary of Energy Daniel Cameron, the Secretary General of the Presidency, Oscar Parrilli, the Governors of San Juan, Santiago del Estero, La Rioja, other officials and businessmen linked to the industry. This program sets the purchase of 1000MW of electric power (which will be tendered) produced on the basis of various renewable energies, from this total: 500MW will be generated from wind power, 120 MW from waste, 100MW from biomass, 30MW from geothermal; 60 MW from small hydro electrics, 20 MW from solar, 20 MW from biogas and 150MW that will be generated based on biofuels (mainly biodiesel). The president of CARBIO, Ing Fernando Pelaez, said, “The incorporation of renewable energies in the national matrix contribute to its diversification into non-fossil fuel dependence, as well as reduces the emission of greenhouse gas which results in an environmental benefit. ” He concluded that this measure will have a positive impact in the biofuels sector as it involves both a reactivation in the production of biodiesel, and the imminent need to resort to alternative sources of energy generation. CARBIO is a nonprofit civil association whose main objective is the development and promotion of production and marketing of biofuels and its industry, to contribute actively to a sustainable and economic growth of the country. Is formed by companies of recognized prestige in Argentina that produce over 95% of biofuels in our country. Courtesy Carbio for Nextfuel Argentina / www.biodiesel.com.ar Deje un comentario |
