| Due to its latitude and climate, Mexico does not have dense forests comparable to those in countries further north. However, there are two large mountain ranges running nearly parallel to the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. These mountains contain significant woodland which provides forest resources for the rest of the country. This industry also produces significant waste, in the form of sawdust, bark, scrap wood, and foliage, which in most cases can't be used. This residue is usually merely discarded near the sawmills that produce it, generating a pollution problem and a fire hazard. Mexico is considered an oil-producing country, and only lately has production diminished and existing oil supplies become scarce. Thus, only lately has there been an effort to characterize and quantify the country's other available energy resources, such as forest and agricultural waste. No local industry has yet tried to develop the technology to turn this waste into a more compact, homogenous, and manageable product, such as wood pellets. The wood pellet industry is highly developed in many countries, but does not yet exist in Mexico even though 72% of the total area of the country is dedicated to forestry. | |
