ENERGIAS RENOVÁVEIS: biogás, energia elétrica proveniente de resíduos de bovinocultura

Abstract

Biomass or biological mass is organic matter produced through the decomposition of organic materials such as manure, agricultural residues and even food remains, among others. The present work constitutes a case study of the Fazenda Pinhal, located in Elói Mendes, state of Minas Gerais, where an energy generation system is implemented and operated by means of biogas from cattle residues. Economic aspects of the installed system were analyzed, estimating the value saved in the purchase of energy from the concessionaire and time of return of the investment. Emphasis is placed on the overlapping of environmental and financial aspects.
