THE SUSTAINANABLE AND FULL ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY BIOMASS FEEDSTOCK

In Southeastern Spain, Morgan AQUA manages 1,086,261 tyear -1 (fresh weight) up to 2,5 million t year of greenhousecrops Wastes (Cucurbita pepo L., Cucumis sativus L., Solanummelongena L., Solanum lycopersicum L., Phaseoulus vulgarisL.,Capsicum annuum L., Citrillus vulgaris Schrad. and Cucumismelo L.).

This document shows gcBIOMASS (Vegetable GreenhouseWaste) characterization. Reader must consider figures arethe minimum gcBIOMASS managed by Morgan AQUA.

Morgan AQUA is the only company that has developed a proprietary technology to fit out thegreenhouse crop wastes into an homogeneous biomass, able to be provided on large scale basis tothe big biomass consumers.

Economic viability of the greenhouse crop wastes likeBiomass is possible thanks to the Morgan AQUAsenvironmental technologies know-how; NO othercompany was capable to perform it.

Korean, French, Spanish, German and some otherenvironmental expertise tech developers were trying tofind out a right model for this biomass on the last 30years with no results.

All the analyses in this work involve the use of worldwide recognized standards and methods andall variables were performed in quintuplicate for each species (more than the required by thestandards). The total potential energy for the gcBIOMASS, was determined by direct analysis usingInternational Standards.

Readers must take into account that the provided figures are MINIMUM results obtained, it meansthat could be bigger/better at any case.

gcBIOMASS has not the higher values of HHV, but is a continued and safe source of biomassfeedstock; stocks and provision are fully granted month by month, year by year.
