Early in year 2000 Cuba, through an International GEF-UNDP funded project, started the introduction of biomass gasification based technology. At that time a 50 KWe biomass gasification system was firstly installed and commissioned for powering Cocodrilo’s remote village, sited on Isla de la Juventud, previously known as Isla de Pinos.
