  1. BIOENERGY IN CHILE Germán Aroca A. School of Biochemical Engineering P. Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Facultad de Ingeniería, Escuela de Ingeniería Bioquímica Av. Brasil 2147, Casilla 4059, Valparaíso, Chile.

  2. Outline • Bioenergy in Chile • Energy from Biomass • Biofuels • Biogas • LAMNET International Workshop “Bioenergy for a sustainable development” Viña del Mar, November 8-9, 2004 Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  3. Energy sources in Chile Primary source Secondary source Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  4. Bioenergy in Chile Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  5. Energy from Biomass • 13.000.0000. Ha native Forest • 20 % of the total energy could be obtained from sustainable management of native forest (Instituto Forestal) Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  6. Rural electrification project financed by UNDP • Biomass gasification • 40 KW • Butachauques Island, X Region Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  7. Energía Verde Green energy Termoelectric Plant using sawdust and bark from cellulose pulp plant Constitucion, VII Region 8,7 MW, 50 ton/h Termic plant, using sawdust and bark San Francisco de Moztazal, VI Region 25 ton/h steam generation Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  8. Perspectives of Biofuels • Bioethanol from lignocellulosic materials • Biodiesel • Raps oil Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  9. Biogas • Biogas from Landfill • Biogas from efluent treatment plants • Biogas from marine biomass Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  10. Development of application of the anaerobic digestion technology in Chile 1993 : Int´l Course on Anaerobic Digestion in Chile organized by the School of Biochemical Engineering 1995 : First reactor UASB (4 m3) (CCU) 1996 : First anaerobic filter reactor (8m3) 1998 : First industrial size reactor UASB type (Dutch) (Chiletabacos) 1999 : Second industrial size reactor UASB type (Mexican Technology) 2000 : First reactor EGSB 2001 : Anaerobic reactors for treating sludge from municipal waste water treatment plant and purines from a pig farm 2001 : First UASB reactor with Chilean technology Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  11. Anaerobic Granules 1995 : First anaerobic reactor UASB type 4 m3 Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  12. 2001 : First UASB reactor with Chilean technology CAPEL Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  13. Biogas production as an energy source • In wine distillery industry it is possible to save up to 30 % of the energy cost using the biogas. • Desulfurization of biogas for its use in the furnaces without harmful effects and with low emissions of SOx Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  14. BIOGAS FROM MARINE BIOMASS Alberto Vergara F., Bruno Honorato S., Nelson Alarcón P., Germán Aroca A. 1 Universidad Católica de Temuco, Facultad de Ciencias, Escuela de Ciencias Ambientales Manuel Montt 56, Casilla 15-D, Temuco, Chile. 2 Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Facultad de Ingeniería, Escuela de Ingeniería Bioquímica Av. Brasil 2147, Casilla 4059, Valparaíso, Chile.

  15. Biogas from seaweed 9000 Km of sea coast Seaweeds: 87 chlorophytas 103 pheophytas 298 Rodophytas Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  16. Chasca, Gelidium lingulatum Chascón, Lessonia nigrescens Huiro, Macrocystis integrifolia Cochayuyo, Durvillea antartica Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  17. Biogas production from seaweeds Seaweed : mainly agar, carrageen, alginates Low lignin content Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV

  18. Results • Preliminary results shows a maximum yield of 300 (mL/g) under non optimal conditions. • 300 (m3/ton) (65 % methane) =>1760 KWh /ton of seaweed • This system could be used for bioenergy generation in small coastal communities Germán Aroca A. EIB-PUCV
