Renewable Energy

For Andrea Masullo "It's very interesting the possibility to insert biodiesel cultures into food agriculture cycle. It means a zero-balance in carbon dioxide emissions, thinking an entire cycle, with an organic enrichment of fields and so carbon accumulation; recycling the used frying oils as basic element, to save 1.500.000 (kWh) for year for their depuration; a biological enrichment and saving water, because the fields organic content is bigger". Bio-ethanol born from sugary cultures. The most experienced and popular cultures are corn, wheat and cane sugar, especially in Brazil. Bartolelli said "We are testing mangold, sugar sorghum and topinambur cultures". A contribution for sustainable energetic can be the biogas recycle, generated by fermentation of organic substances in garbage, with the same percentage of methane and carbon dioxide. If fermentation is anaerobic, without oxygen, the main component is methane; with oxygen, the main component id carbon dioxide. Biogas has also energetic, environmental and agricultural benefits: the production of renewable energy, the improvement of agricultural and zootechnical companies, the garbage recycling, the reducing of smell pollution. The best use of biodiesel, bioethanole and biogas is heating and car fuels.
