During its participation in Expobiomasa, the Mexican delegation will visit companies and facilities in Castilla y León that already use biomass as a source of energy, in order to collaborate in the development of similar projects in Mexico.

Commercial opportunity
The current geopolitical context is conducive for Mexican and Spanish entrepreneurs to collaborate in the implementation of technologies associated with biomass, which have great development potential in Mexico. The policies promoted by Donald Trump from the presidency of the United States, his main trading partner, represent an opportunity to further strengthen, if possible, the excellent commercial relations between Spain and Mexico. Added to this, on the other hand, is the fact that the Government of Mexico has included among its objectives for the year 2024 that 35% of energy production be renewable. A purpose that opens the doors to Spanish technology, highly valued in this country.
