VENEGAS VENEGAS, José Apolonio et al. Potential electric energy and financial feasibility biodigestor-generator in pig farms from Puebla. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.3, pp.735-740. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v8i3.47.

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.

Keywords : farm size; financial analysis; power generator.
