DIG-L: Fwd: dry coffee from pig manure



I fully agree with the need to know the pig manure quantities to evaluate how much heat can be produced. But also the rest of the other wastes ( other animal manure and sugar cane refuses).

Perhaps it could also be interesting to think about the agriculture waste potential, for co-fire energy recovery. I do believe that the coffee and other crops produce’s a lot of refuses in the same region??

It’s very rare to have almost a guaranty for direct heat utilization, from the heat-generated trough a Biogas plant, in a hot country. This is definitely a strong advantage for you project.

Apparently the potential exists. You have mentioned very good biomass for biogas/energy production, but I would suggest that you make a rigorous assessment of the available quantities of the different kinds of biomass, in order to support a reliable business plan.

Regards,

Luís Ferreira
