Uso do biogás para eficiência energética na agroindústria e na agropecuária.

Abstract

The development of techniques, bioprocesses, and sustainable practices, such as energy generation through biofuels, is one of the most emphasized approaches in this paper. An integrated perspective is taken, focusing on solutions and/or adaptations that preserve natural resources in the energy-food production interface. In this context, considering the importance of renewable energy suitable for the business sector´s energy needs, presenting economic and environmental viability, an optimistic view on bioenergy production from anaerobic digestion arises. Furthermore, this technology is economically attractive compared to the high costs for the purchase of cooking gas, which is a common substitute for wood stoves 4 an alternative that harms the environment through wood extraction. Rural biodigesters produce surplus biogas and biofertilizers, exceeding companies’ needs for such products. This process not only ensures an environmentally viable cycle but also guarantees a strong and positive social impact. The proposal titled <System for the Production of Biogas and Biofertilizers in Agroindustrial Enterprises= aims to implement a biodigester system in agro-industrial enterprises, seeking to produce biogas for the cogeneration of electrical or thermal energy, as well as biofertilizers for agricultural production in rural communities.
