Abstract

The growing worldwide energy demand from fossil fuels  has caused severe damage to the environment, renewable  energy, particularly biogas is an option to counteract the  problem, in addition it can generate electricity by means  of a motor-generator and reduce production costs of pig  farms. The potential of electric power was estimated in  19 municipalities of Puebla on farms with more than 500  pigs, these farms could generate 17 875 MW of electric  power per year, a financial analysis was also carried out  for five farm sizes proposed with biodigester-power  generator system where indicators were positive in all  cases.
