Cuba to bump up biogas power generation
Cuba will install a modern biogas industrial plant in central Cienfuegos province in 2009.
The plant will generate electricity using the excrement of pigs from the General Swine
Complex in the town of Palmira, and forms the beginning of a national programme.
It is estimated that only 50% of more than 700 biogas plants in the country are in operation, but efforts are being made for their renewal in light of the world movement towards obtaining sustainable and cleaner production.
The largest of these facilities was recently inaugurated in one of Havana’s dumps, with the cooperation of UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization).
