There are twenty-two thousand hectares of eucalyptus plantations in the state of Roraima.
Reforested wood that becomes 'biomass'.
Organic matter for the production of electrical energy.
In one of the plants, 600 tons of biomass (crushed wood) are used every day to produce electricity.
In the four plants, daily consumption of this biomass reaches 1300 tons.
The ashes serve as fertilizer for planting new trees in the same place where they were removed.
Sustainable and clean energy production.
The four biomass thermal plants have an installed capacity of 40 megawatts.
Which represents around 20% of the average demand in the state of Roraima.
