Growth in Biomass Energy Exports in Brazil
Biomass, composed of organic materials such as agricultural waste, forestry residues, and animal waste, has emerged as a crucial renewable energy source for diversifying the global energy matrix.
Why is biomass still underestimated in Brazil?
The generation of energy from biomass has a current installed capacity of 15,604 MW, representing 9% of the national electrical matrix. With 578 thermoelectric plants, this source is in fourth place, behind hydro, wind and natural gas.
