FLORES, R.; MUNOZ-LEDO, R.; FLORES, B. B.  and  CANO, K. I.. Power generation from biomass estimation for projects of the clean development mechanism program. Rev. Mex. Ing. Quím [online]. 2008, vol.7, n.1, pp.35-39. ISSN 1665-2738.

In the present work, it is calculated the amount of energy and the reductions of greenhouse gases emissions that may be obtained taking advantage of organic wastes, such as, sugarcane bagasse and urban wastes. The appropriate use of these wastes could generate up to 28% of the power requirements reported for the state of Morelos in 2005. Likewise, the Clean Development Mechanism could be employed to negotiate carbon certificates in such as way that the industrialized countries could meet with the goals implemented in the Kyoto Protocol and the state of Morelos could get the financial resources to be in the front technologic line with respect to the utilization of organic wastes to generate power and to reduce greenhouse gases emissions.
