• Project 13 November 2018 NAMA for sugar mills in Mexico Sugar mills in Mexico produce more than 15 million tons of bagasse every year. While this by-product of sugar production is used as fuel in sugar mills, half of it is usually wasted through inefficient incineration. This means that its power production potential of up to 3000 GWh/year is lost. UNEP DTU Partnership  has developed a financial structure with a central SPV (special Purpose Vehicle)  to finance, construct and operate the connection of Mexican sugar mills to the national…
