VOICED : Las vacas que generan electricidad para Chile

The video discusses an innovative approach by a farm in southern Santiago, Chile, where cow waste is converted into electricity. This process involves using a biodigestor to produce biogas and carbon dioxide, which powers an electric generator. The technology has expanded to pig farms, supplying energy to thousands of homes. Despite only a few generators currently in use, this method holds potential for Chile's growing energy needs. The concept of distributed generation is introduced, highlighting the possibility of self-generating energy for industries and communities. However, high installation costs remain a barrier, with hopes for government assistance to make this sustainable energy source more accessible.
