About the different comments made by the audience, we highlight the following.
The Director-General of UCASUL, the Union of Cooperatives that holds the biomass that is being considered for this project, explained the problem in a strategic perspective for the region, identifying the benefits of the transformation of biomass into electricity and the constraints that predicts we may find in the process.
From the Agricultural Cooperative banks, were stressed the following aspects:
- Importance of the project, energy production from olive pomace treated, taking into account the existing biomass in increasing quantities because of the many new plantings of olive trees in the region, and that if no other destination can be found, we may face an environmental problem.
- Difficulty that the project may have to get a connection to the national grid. Is necessary an administrative and a political decision.
- Willingness to collaborate with the project and interest in following its development.
Other comments:
- The project must demonstrate to policymakers the importance of commitment in renewable energy from agricultural biomass, which could become a gain and avoid an environmental problem.
- It was requested information about further developments of the project.
