SUGAR ENERGY DEVELOP

closed

The specific objectives of the Global Environment Trust Fund (GET) project are: first, to develop or locally adapt technologies for handling and processing sugar cane residues emphasizing cane tops, leaves and trash; and second, to strengthen the management and coordination of the Bagasse Energy Development Program (BEDP) implementation by fostering collaboration between the public and private sector in the management of program implementation. The Sugar Energy Development Project consists of three main components: (a) development and adaptation of technologies for biomass energy production; (b) training of technical staff of bagasse-and-coal plants; and (c) support for BEDP management and coordination, including environmental monitoring. The GET will fund the total cost of the project, involving expenditures for the equipment and vehicles, short term training courses and study visits, and expenditures for an international workshop.
