With expectations of potential investments generating more than $38 million, Energy Expo 2014 was a meeting between state representatives and employers in the renewable energy sector to discuss ongoing projects and expectations for the coming months.

"Speakers from Austria, India and Honduras gave talks on the modernization of hydroelectric plants, prevention transformers for power plants and electricity generation from biogas in the coffee and pigs sector in Central America. "

Osmer Ponce, Renewable Energy Advisor at the company SNV indicated that two companies are taking advantage of the opportunity in Honduras by processing coffee residues to generate electricity and in Costa Rica, several companies are generating biogas from pig manure. 'Since 2010 we have carried out studies on biogas generation because it is a very important market for meeting the demand for energy. Renewable energy improves and gives opportunities to people who do not have access to energy," he said.
