ANALYSIS OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FOREST BIOMASS AS AN INPUT FOR THE GENERATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY IN A COMPANY IN THE TEXTILE SECTOR OF THE ABURRA VALLEY

The new world energy policies seek to reduce dependence on hydrocarbons and their derivatives as the main energy resource, given their condition as a limited resource and the environmental impacts derived from their application. Colombia, for its part, depends to a great extent on fossil resources, which have a reserve / production ratio of 5.9 years for oil, 14 years for natural gas and coal, although it is valid for at least 79 years. If the rate of exploitation continues it is not the cleanest way to generate electricity. That said, it is intended that this study provides information for innovative agents and entrepreneurs in the field of renewable energies, especially in wood energy and its application mainly in the department of Antioquia.
