Magnon Green Energy , a biomass energy generation company, has produced enough renewable energy in 2022 to cover the electrical needs of 1.1 million people in our country. Thanks to the activity of the eight plants that the company has located in Andalusia, Extremadura and Castilla La Mancha, it has generated more than 1.4 million MWh of renewable and manageable energy .
In fact, it is this manageability that provides unique value to the energy generated from biomass compared to other renewable sources. This technology does not depend on meteorological factors, which allows it to provide the stability that the electrical mix needs on its journey towards energy independence . Thus, energy generation with biomass can be planned in the short, medium and long term, so it is capable of adapting in real time to the needs of the electrical system.
Magnon operates in five different provinces : Huelva, Jaén, Córdoba, Ciudad Real and Badajoz, in areas where, thanks to its activity, it has become an important actor in the fight against “Emptied Spain”. Magnon plants generate 6,650 direct and indirect jobs – according to data from the Association of Renewable Energy Companies (APPA) –, especially in the industrial and agroforestry fields. Thus, while generating energy that contributes to the decarbonization of the electrical system, it helps to structure the territory and establish the population in rural areas: two key issues on our country's agenda in 2023.
The generation of energy with biomass is, in itself, a paradigm of the circular economy : it recovers and valorizes agroforestry remains and gives them a new function: decarbonizing society. Furthermore, this use of biomass manages to avoid its mismanagement in the fields, which can lead to uncontrolled burning due to abandonment in natural spaces.
Other benefits of this technology is the role it plays in pest prevention and, especially, in reducing the risk of fires in the mountains by up to 70%.
This is because the sustainable use of plant remains, which are removed and managed, prevents the accumulation of combustible material in risk areas.
