Cia Azucarera Chumbagua SA de CV is a company based in Honduras that is dedicated to developing renewable projects in the sectors of biomass and waste, as well as carbon markets. The company has been in operation for several years and has established itself as a leader in the renewable energy industry in Honduras.
The company's main focus is on the production of renewable energy from biomass and waste. Biomass refers to organic matter that is used as a fuel source, such as wood chips, agricultural waste, and municipal solid waste. The company has developed several projects that use biomass as a fuel source to generate electricity, heat, and steam.
One of the company's most significant biomass projects is the Chumbagua Biomass Power Plant. This plant is located in the Chumbagua sugar mill and uses bagasse, a by-product of sugar cane, as a fuel source to generate electricity. The plant has a capacity of 17 MW and is capable of supplying electricity to the national grid. The Chumbagua Biomass Power Plant is one of the largest biomass power plants in Honduras and has been instrumental in reducing the country's reliance on fossil fuels.
In addition to biomass, the company is also involved in waste-to-energy projects. These projects involve the conversion of waste materials into energy, such as electricity or heat. The company has developed several waste-to-energy projects, including the San Pedro Sula Waste-to-Energy Plant. This plant uses municipal solid waste as a fuel source to generate electricity. The plant has a capacity of 10 MW and is capable of supplying electricity to the national grid.
The company is also involved in carbon markets. Carbon markets are a mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by allowing companies to buy and sell carbon credits. Carbon credits are a form of currency that represent a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The company has developed several carbon projects, including the Santa Barbara Forest Carbon Project. This project involves the protection and management of a forest in Santa Barbara, Honduras, which has been certified as a carbon offset project. The project generates carbon credits that can be sold on the international carbon market.
The company's commitment to renewable energy and sustainability has earned it several awards and recognitions. In 2017, the company was awarded the National Energy Efficiency Award by the Honduran government for its contribution to the development of renewable energy in the country. The company has also been recognized by the United Nations for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Cia Azucarera Chumbagua SA de CV is committed to promoting sustainable development in Honduras and reducing the country's dependence on fossil fuels. The company's renewable energy projects have had a significant impact on the country's energy mix, and its carbon projects have helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The company's commitment to sustainability and renewable energy is an example for other companies in Honduras and around the world.
