Cuantificación del Potencial Energético de los Residuos Agrícolas de la Caña de Azúcar en el Departamento de Cundinamarca

Abstract

This monograph presents the research and case study to quantify the energetic potential of the Industrial Agricultural Residues (RAI) of sugar cane in the Department of Cundinamarca. This research is carried out from the specific description of the lines of Agroindustrial production, in order to identify potentially usable agricultural residues. For the development of this methodology are stablished research parameters that allow the collection of quantifiable data such as: hectares harvested and number of agricultural industries, then through the case study model is proceed to calculate the amount of waste available in the region. Based on this, are obtained approximate results of existing energetic potential, which allows to project the possible capacity of energy usable through biomass technologies. Likewise, the possible technologies for the generation of energy are identified.
