Abstract

This research presents a technical and economic evaluation of a biodigestion system to take advantage of the organic waste generated in the Market Square of Villa de Leyva, Boyacá. The study addresses the problem of organic waste management in public spaces of high affluence, proposing a solution that generates biogas.The research focuses on analyzing the feasibility of implementing this system by evaluating volumes and types of organic waste, performing a technical-economic analysis adapted to local conditions and estimating the potential benefits. The methodology employed combines field research, analysis of available technologies and economic evaluation.The scope of the project ranges from waste characterization to the detailed proposal of the system, with results potentially applicable to other marketplaces in Colombia and Latin America, thus contributing significantly to the search for sustainable solutions for organic waste management in urban and rural environments.
