The project is located in the north of Peru, in Sullana Province, Department of Piura, the project would implement 12 000

hectares of sugar cane crops with the propose to generate ethanol.

Just to frame the project within the potential context of Sugar Cane for ethanol development in Peru, it is important to take into consideration that our country has a conservative potential of
1 million hectares to develop in the northern. COMISA will partially cover the projected internal demand for this product which balance would have to be covered from abroad. The Project
has been finally defined for the exclusive production of ethanol with an initial level of 600,000 liters to be increased to 1'200,000 in the fourth year of operation.
Baseline Scenario
Which emissions are the proposed Clean Development Mechanism CDM project
displacing?
Bio-fuels as the Ethanol will be applied to replace the fossils fuels and decrease of CO2
emissions. Other greenhouse gases emissions of this project are nitrous oxide (N2O) and
Methane (CH4).
What would the future look like without the proposed CDM project?
Greenhouse gases emissions from fossil fuel consumption of diesel and petroleum that
would have been used in the absence of the CDM. Also many other agro industrial and
manufacturing activities will remain using fossil fuels.
What would the estimated total greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction be with the
project?
The ethanol production in 2 stages: 1,200,000 liters per day. It is calculated that the project
will reduce 192,000 tCO2e annually that otherwise will be emitted to the atmosphere.
The project has the following components
Change of the fuel in the irrigation of 11,000 hectares.
Change from fuel to diesel to ethanol in the transport vehicles and field machinery.
Generation of energy with bagasse boiler for the industrial plant: The diesel use of the
Bases Case is avoided for a total of 24 to 28 MW.
Increase in efficiency in the heat use in the Alcohol Refinery and effluent treatment.
Current Status
Earliest project start date
Ethanol distillery will come in operation in early 2008.
Estimate of time required before becoming operational
1.5 - 2 years.
What is the project lifetime?
The evaluation horizon is 20 years; but the operation will continue then after.
Current status or phase of the project:
Under preparation: a Pre-feasibility report on the eligibility, pacing and potential of
CER's generation under the CDM and recommendations on the viability to develop the
Project under the CDM norms.
CERs are required to strength financial ratios for this pioneering project.
Pilot Plot under execution to experience the cane development for Ethanol
(Mono-saccharoid level Ethanol from juices). Two previous experiences have been
carried out successfully, based in traditional cane growing for sugar production (Di
-saccharoid level Ethanol from Molasse).
Estimated Emission Reductions
Annual: an average of 192,000 tCO2-equivalent.
Up to and including 2012: 960,000 tCO2-equivalent
Up to a period of 10 years: 1,920,000 tCO2-equivalent
Up to a period of 7 years: 1,344,000 tCO2-equivalent
Up to a period of 14 years: 2,688,000 tCO2-equivalent
Project Benefits
The project would reduce diesel in agro industrial activities of CORMIPESA. Diesel
has a high content of sulphur and with combustion emit sulphur dioxide a high impact
local pollutant.
The project will contribute to sustainable development because it will displace a fossil
fuel system with a biomass based renewable energy system, generating benefits not
only by reducing greenhouses gases, but by also reducing other local air pollutants
and environmental impacts associated with the burning of residual fuel oil which have
deteriorated the local environment.
Provide a source of fertilizers to the crops of the area and inputs for the industry.
