Cuba promotes use of renewable energies in the tobacco sector

Cuba-Panel-Solar
Havana, Jan 6 (Prensa Latina) The Tabacuba Business Group today boosts the use of renewable energy sources in several of its facilities in Pinar del Rio, Cuba's largest tobacco leaf producing province.

All tobacco export factories should have this type of equipment in the first half of this year, the Group’s president, Marino Murillo, told the Cuban News Agency.

Artemisa, Villa Clara and the westernmost territory already have this type of equipment in an effort to increase productivity.

According to the official, pre-industrial processes and irrigation to save energy carriers with submersible pumps are the priority.

He also stated that they are betting on renewable energy sources so that the productive processes do not stop in the event of a certain interruption of the electric service.

The most recent experience, he said, is in the selected V-13-26 in San Luis municipality, where photovoltaic panels on the outside of the building stands out.

The use of solar energy to facilitate selection and removal of tobacco leaf stems provides greater autonomy and allows better use of the working day in the western territory.
