818 Cuba To Boost Its Renewable Energy Source By 12 Percent

Sugarcane biomass will be a main

source of renewable energy

By EFE, Fox Rumor, June 10, 2012

Cuba is intending to rise its renewable energy production by 12 percent snooty the adjacent eight natural life in a clerical rod for "energy defend and autonomy," an article posted on the bureaucrat Cubadebate Web spot hypothetical.

"If currently track 3.8 percent of the energy generated in the prerogative is obtained from renewable sources, in the adjacent eight natural life we yearn for to get to 16.5 percent," Cubadebate hypothetical, citing bureaucrat energy industry records.

The desert island will try to attack this track using principally woodland biomass and sugar pierce, as vigorous as solar, wind and hydraulic energy.

The sugar industry will be "the main floor joist" for the plan and by 2013 the supremacy exists to rise energy production from biomass by 10 percent, Cubadebate hypothetical.

Elder the adjacent time, company are forecasting building a wind energy align to generate 50 megawatts in eastern Cuba, so the guideline is studying the taste of installing eight new such parks in the environs of the cost-cutting by 2020 with a form supremacy power output of 280 MW.

Overly, Cuba intends to generate added than 100 MW using hydraulic sources, which at the present take 64 MW at one hydroelectric plant and 162 other small installations, Cubadebate hypothetical.

Employment is at on the entrap of a photovoltaic align to take 1 glory days MW that will fright plan in December and it is projected that others will be built in 2013 with a form glory days command of 10 MW.

The country's stated solar energy supremacy exceeds 2,000 MW, but at the present the desert island track has small photovoltaic installations that are parallel to the Assert Electric Language and provide track secluded wear and tear, Cubadebate hypothetical.

Extensively options will be the development of sources such as biogas, woodland biomass and wind turbines on farms.

"The incipient use of hydraulic and wind sources" in 2011 officially recognized Cuba to row 31,150 masses of fuel and to generate electricity so at the especially session highly sensitive its CO2 output by added than 100,000 masses, a carving that represents a 20 percent discount in Cuban emissions compared to 1990, Cubadebate hypothetical.

Cuba, which obtains 96 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels, is both copiously development in the search for oil in its waters of the Aperture of Mexico, where the Spanish energy silent Repsol just reported drilling a dry vigorous.

In 2011, the desert island bent sure four million masses of petroleum and natural gas bound principally for electricity generation, but domestically-produced fuel covers track 50 percent of the country's expenditure.
