They are power plants you renewed produced from the sugar cane-of-sugar, oleaginosas plants, forest biomass and farming residues. The biocombust�veis are alternative cheaper and efficient in the combat to the effect greenhouse. The alternative most correct is to substitute fosseis fuels for biocombust�veis.

Organic matter of animal or vegetable origin, the biomass accounts for 1/4 of the energy consumed in Brazil. In the sugar and alcohol mills it is responsible for the co-generation of electric and mechanical energy based on the residue of sugar cane. After all, every ton of cane milled produces 20 to 30 kW/h, what represents a significant reduction in the costs of production.

The residue, therefore, has become one of the main allies of the excellent performance of Brazilian alcohol in the domestic and international markets. Besides its massive use by domestic motor vehicles, it is being added to the gasoline sold in several nations, thus reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and leading to the accumulation of carbon credits. This successful experience stimulates Bioenergy to invest in new enterprises devoted to the production of biomass.
