Biomass as an energy source will play a fundamental role in the coming years. The versatility of biomass-based generation systems makes them attractive projects at any scale. At the Technical University of Manabí, large quantities of organic and forest residues are generated, which can be used to generate energy. A survey was applied to determine the level of knowledge of the university community on issues related to the energy use of biomass and solid waste management. The results show that there is a knowledge gap in the community and it will be necessary, if such a system is implemented, to train all those involved in the generation, handling and disposal of solid waste to strengthen the proposal.
y social. Se muestran los resultados preliminares obtenidos del proyecto SIGDES (Sistema de Información Geográfica para el Desarrollo Sostenible), relacionados con el estudio de los potenciales renovables en la provincia de Manabí y se argumenta la necesidad de acoger un modelo de desarrollo energético que adopte como paradigma los conceptos asociados al desarrollo local y el aprovechamiento adecuado de los recursos endógenos.Palabras claves: gestión energética sostenible, desarrollo local, generación distribuida, fuentes renovables de energía.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
