MLR Forestal

completed

IFC will assist MLR Forestal to conduct a benchmarking analysis of experiences in plantation and wood (and plant) wastes to energy projects developed by IFC clients, partner companies, and other wood-based projects. This will ensure relevant, reliable and structured information for designing a viable fuel supply for a biomass-cogeneration project in Siuna, Nicaragua. This will be complemented by site visits to the Northern Atlantic region where Siuna is located to analyze logistical, financial, legal and physical factors affecting the viability of the project. local variables will be analyzed to ensure sound decision-making by the company to determine whether to go forward or not with the project under consideration. Deliverables will include a presentation on relevant experiences, an analysis and model of volume calculations for Siuna plantations, and a final report with recommendations to the company.
