The search for clean energy development has motivated the expansion of renewable sources of generation around the world. In Brazil, Small Hydro Plants (SHP), Cogeneration from Sugarcane waste (Biomass) and Wind Power Plants (WPP) are proving themselves to be attractive alternatives over the last years. One important characteristic of each of these technologies is their seasonal availability, which...
The integrated sugar/ethanol/electricity production has launched a new business model-the bioelectricity industry-with a potential to become a ldquomainstreamrdquo energy supply option in the near future in Brazil. Besides being clean, the bioelectricity plants have been winning several hundred MWs in long-term contracts auctioned by distribution companies under the Brazilian power sector framework...
The objective of this work is to discuss the generation options and challenges to meet an increasing electricity demand in Brazil. Emphasis will be put on the challenge of conciliating generation system expansion and environmental constraints under a cost-effective framework.
Jasmonates are well documented for their ability to modulate the expression of plant genes and to influence specific aspects of disease/pest resistance traits. We and others have been studying the synthesis of sesquiterpene phytoalexins in elicitor/pathogen-challenged plants and have sought to determine if methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could substitute for fungal elicitors in the induction of capsidiol...
