Biomass: renewable energy with high potential
Magnon Green Energy, the Ence Group’s renewable energy subsidiary, is the leading company in Spain in the production of renewable energy from forest and agricultural biomass. The company has an installed capacity of 266 MW, distributed in eight independent generation plants: three in Huelva, two in the province of Ciudad Real, and one each in Cordoba, Jaen and Merida. All of them are powered exclusively by agroforestry biomass.
Magnon’s annual renewable energy production is around 1,500 GWh, which is equivalent to covering the electricity consumption of more than 400,000 homes per year. This form of generation is emerging as one of the most efficient in economic terms, thanks to its contribution to rural employment, the sustainable development of the natural environment and the improvement of the environment.
