Crops for energy a great business opportunity
Biomass was the most important energy source for humanity until the beginning of the industrial revolution, when it was relegated to second place due to the massive use of fossil fuels. Biomass is understood to be all organic matter that can be used as an energy source. The origin of biomass energy can be both animal and plant and may have been obtained naturally or come from artificial transformations carried out in biomass plants. This matter is converted into energy by applying different chemical processes to it.
The energy in biomass ultimately comes from the Sun. Plants and animals absorb and store a part of the solar energy that reaches the earth in the form of food and energy. When this happens, by-products are also created that are not useful for living beings nor can they be used to make food, but they can be used to make energy from them. (endesa.org foundation)
One of the biggest profits is in the production of energy, such as chips, coal, or other fuel.
The nopal represents a great opportunity for clean fuel production, as well as a highly profitable and sustainable business.

3 年Paricum vircatum (Rodgrass) and Paricum vircatum (Switch grass) have fifth and seventh number in energy crops according to Rodigo wayland, Manager Elqui Global Energy. ( Cactus biogas). Can we would planning to grow Nopal in land capability classes- VIII, which will be very?well?suited?for forestry, grass?land?and wild life? In some area, where we find Nopal & it would be multiplied fast by some low cost expenditure as not requires water, fertile soil and in extreme weather condition.
