REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Learn More about BiomassHad you ever heard of biomass techonology before you took this challenge? What did you learn that surprised you? Share this with your friends!
Marlene López 4/12/2019 1:56 PMLa energía de la biomasa es una verdadera solución solo si utiliza materia prima adecuada, como los desechos de los molinos y la agricultura o los cultivos perennes de cultivo sostenible. El uso de cultivos anuales de cereales como el maíz y el sorgo agota las aguas subterráneas y requiere altos insumos de energía. Usar bosques nativos es nada menos que una atrocidad. -
