Problem or solution?

Problem or solution?

Tree pruning and/or removal are classified as a problem in Brazil.

For the electricity sector, it is extremely difficult to "enforce" the regulation. The consequence: increase in unplanned power interruptions for consumers, including business and institutional ones.

I have a proposal to turn around this situation. Use all this biomass generated by tree pruning and/or removal to make generation and/or cogeneration power plants viable.

In this line of thinking, there would be an objective interest in pruning and/or removal, as it would make energy supply businesses viable. If you would like to explore this possibility I have already imagined (optimized) alternatives to make this solution happen.
