CARICOM Secretariat speaks to GTZ-CREDP on Energy/Renewable Energy in the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Pitons. That may be a constraint to harnessing geothermal energy in Saint Lucia. CJ: Let’s move on to Biomass. Of course there are examples in the Guyana and Belize as well as in Barbados. Tell us something of Biomass as a Renewable Energy source. TS: The use of biomass for energy production is as old as hydropower. If you look at the sugar industry, traditionally bagasse is burnt as a fuel to satisfy the energy needs of old-fashioned sugar factories. Traditionally and interestingly, the sugar factories that are 100 to 200 years old were deliberately built at low energy efficiency because the bagasse during the harvest season was more of a hindrance than a help, so they had to get rid of the bagasse which would otherwise pile up in the backyard of the sugar factories. So sugar factories were traditionally made to use bagasse for the energy that they need. Today we are looking at sugar factories with higher thermal energy, the bagasse is still there. Burning the bagasse and producing the electricity base on bagasse means cogeneration. Therefore a sugar factory for instance can produce more electricity than it needs for its own consumption and feed the excess into the national grids. That is a basic form of biomass as a form of renewable energy. Of course there are others. If you look at Guyana, Suriname; there we have large resources of wood. I am not talking of natural wood but plantation wood; or residuals. Take the huge sawmills in Guyana; they have sawdust leftover from the wood production. That could be used for electricity production that could either be burnt or through charcoal. So there are still resources which are not fully used. When it comes to the small islands it is a little more difficult because the feedstock for biomass is simply not so much. There may be something if you look into bananas but banana is being used to maintain the fertility of the ground. So you cannot use banana stalks because they have to stay on the ground. If you take for instance, nutmeg shells of Grenada, this may be a source. I am at the moment not aware if there is any specific information on the quantity of shells from the nutmegs we have in Grenada; a major source. One thing that may be interesting is import of bio fuel to mix it with gasoline/diesel. That is being practiced largely in Brazil for instance. So there may be a way to go for the ethanol route as well using sugar cane to produce ethanol to be mixed with fuel for transport. Page 8 of 16PDF Image | Caribbean Renewable Energy Development
