ResumenEl biogás producido por la digestión anaerobia de residuos pecuarios es una solución para la sustitución de la biomasa tradicional usada en iluminación y calor. Su uso presenta ventajas como la mejora en la productividad de las fincas, la reducción del impacto ambiental y el rompimiento de la dependencia a los combustibles fósiles y agroquímicos. Sin embargo, aún se tiene poca difusión en las zonas rurales de Colombia, principalmente por el desconocimiento de las potencialidades y los beneficios. Por tal motivo, la presente revisión propone brindar una perspectiva de la digestión anaerobia desde los aspectos técnicos más relevantes, la importancia del sustrato y los tipos de biodigestores de bajo costo más comunes. Se concluye que es necesario mejorar las técnicas para hacerlas más asequibles y planear programas de financiación que permitan la expansión plena de la tecnología a pequeña y mediana escala. Palabras clave: biogás; digestato; digestión anaerobia. AbstractThe biogas produced by the anaerobic digestion of livestock waste is a solution for the replacement of traditional biomass used in lighting and heat. Its use offers advantages such as: the improvement in the productivity of the farms, reduction of the environmental impact and breaking the dependence on fossil fuels and agrochemicals. However, there is still little diffusion of it in rural areas of Colombia, mainly due to ignorance of its potential and benefits. For this reason, this review provides a perspective of anaerobic digestion from the most relevant technical aspects, the importance of the substrate and the most common types of low-cost biodigesters. It is concluded that it is necessary to improve the techniques to make them more affordable and to plan financing programs that allow the full expansion of this technology to small and medium scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
