Brazil has a large amount of biomass stock available in the country. Last year, Brazil accounted for over 20 billion MWh of power generation through biomass. With its lush green forests spread over 6.3 million hectares of land which basically consists of pine and eucalyptus has set Brazil with abundance in biomass feedstock. Hydroelectric power and natural gas dominate Brazil's electricity generation capacity. Brazil's most abundant biomass feedstock is sugarcane, which makes cogeneration the most viable biomass technology for installation across the country. Brazil has abundant forest residues, which can be used as a source for electricity generation in Brazil. Currently, the majority of Brazil's sugarcane is grown in the north east region around Sao Paulo. The surplus electricity generated from the existing sugar factories in Brazil is fed to the power grid. Biomass power plant size is often driven by biomass availability in close proximity as transport costs of the (bulky) fuel play a key factor in the plant's economics. It has to be noted, however, that rail and especially shipping on waterways can reduce transport costs significantly, which has led to a global biomass market. Across Brazil, the total investments in additional installed generation capacity are estimated to reach $103.8 billion by 2019, including 25% to be set aside for investment in new renewable energy projects across Brazil. Brazil's government may continue to promote market for biomass feedstock, driven by the prospect of the dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation.
