Viability of renewable energies and industrialization of rural areas using high-performance concrete

Daltro Garcia Pinatti, Rosa Ana Conte, Carolina Azevedo Braz, Thiago Hirosse Silva, Felipe da Costa Aparecido · 2018 · Renewable Energy and Power Quality Journal

Summary. High-performance concrete enables construction of solar thermal collectors and water retention structures that integrate renewable energy sources in tropical rural areas. The system combines solar heating with biomass-fired boilers, increases biomass production on degraded land, and generates biogas from agricultural waste. This integrated approach provides reliable electricity, thermal energy, and fuel while supporting livestock production and attracting industrial development to rural regions.
