Argentina biomass storage

How many biomass plants are there in Argentine?

Statistics of the Biomass Committee of the Argentine Chamber of Renewable Energies (Cader) indicate that our country has between 60 and 80 biomass plants, of which 20 are large facilities.

Is soil organic carbon storage related to tree biomass?

Soil organic carbon storage is the single largest carbon pool relative to tree biomass, representing 73.1% of total carbon. Tree canopy cover and basal area were positively correlated with biomass carbon pool ( r = 0.77 and r = 0.73, p < 0.001, respectively), proving to be significant drivers of carbon storage in this compartment.

Do tree canopy cover and basal area influence biomass carbon storage?

In relation to previous studies (González Roglich et al. 2014; Sheikh et al. 2020; Osei et al. 2022 ), we found that tree canopy cover and basal area proved to be significant drivers of biomass carbon storage, as well as the total carbon pool stocks of forests. Instead, we did not find a relationship between tree density and these pools.

Can stand-level variables predict above-ground biomass in dry regions?

Stand-level variables, such as plant cover and mean height, are also easy-to-measure estimators of above-ground biomass (AGB) in dry regions. In this study, we estimated the AGB in semi-arid woody vegetation in Northeast Patagonia, Argentina.

What are the most emblematic biomass cases in the world?

One of the most emblematic biomass cases occurs in the province of Córdoba, where an electric power plant based on peanut husk was launched in 2017. It is an installation that collects and sells 140 thousand tons of peanuts per year and employs 450 people directly.
