<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,<br>
Presently I am trying to calculate the potential CER that <br>
can be accrued from generation of electricity from biomass.<br>
The biomass used is bagasse which is the fibre left over<br>
after crushing sugar cane for production of sugar.<br>
<br>
In my country Mauritius sugar cane plantation is a cash <br>
crop and about 40% of the land is under sugar cane<br>
cultivation.There is already one efficient coal/bagasse<br>
power plant producing electricity for export on the<br>
national grid. There is plan to build 3 new coal/bagasse <br>
power plant. Since bagasse is not produced year round, the<br>
coal will be used during the intercrop season.Ratio of<br>
bagasse to coal is about 1 to 3. Presently 300GWh<br>
electricity is exported on the national grid from <br>
bagasse.There is potential for 300GWh more electricity from<br>
bagasse which are not being burnt.<br>
Please could you advise on the methodologies for<br>
calculation on amount of CER which my country could benefit<br>
for production of electricity from biomass. <br>
<br>
Regards.<br>
D. Boodhun<br>
Mauritius.<br>
