Compromís per Valencia has proposed to use 50,000 tons of waste rice straw to generate power and Albufera compost, an initiative which highlighted Joan Ribó, has already launched in other locations.
Alcaldia Our candidate proposes that the straw collection is intended to feed a biomass plant, which will produce methane fermentation that after a combustion process, would generate electricity. It could also use straw to make compost, which would be used as fertilizer.
This plant biomass, and generate jobs, would solve the ongoing problems created by the inefficiency of the City Council in this matter. Given that the accumulation of straw in rice fields, fruit of the harvest of rice, is highly polluting because these remains are rotting.
While the burning of straw, which has been practicing the last two years, is not a viable option since it generates a lot of pollution, which causes the constant complaints of the inhabitants of the hamlets and villages in the south of Valencia and also is not allowed by the European Union.
Other cities, like Lünen (Germany) have chosen to use organic waste from farms and homes into energy, so much of the city's energy consumption, of about 100,000 inhabitants is provided by this type of energy.
There are technical solutions that can solve this problem, an opportunity to make par generate electricity could be sold to electricity companies, the compost produced would improve organic matter content in soil in Valencia.
Perhaps the only possible objection may come to realize the initial investment. In this regard, note that they could use the process of European funding for the construction of these plants. Some EU funds intended to improve the environmental aspects of industrial and agricultural activity, while supporting energy production using clean technology and renewable energy systems.
