Cuantificación del potencial energético a partir de biomasa forestal en el Departamento de Putumayo

Abstract

This monograph sets out the methodology to carry out the quantification of the energy potential from forest biomass, in the department of Putumayo. This document is divided into four main sections: description of the forest resources presents in the department. Subsequently, classification by municipality of these, where the characteristics of the resources are determined, and the amount of usable biomass for each is estimated. Next, calculation of the energy potential from the constitution of the biomass, depending on the classification of the resource. This is done in order to open the way to a fourth phase where the energy potential of the department is located geographically, making use of the ArcGIS tool and the information collected in this process.
