Resumen
La tecnología de digestión anaerobia (DA) es un proceso implementado para producir biogás y biol mediante la gestión de residuos orgánicos. El biogás producido puede ser convertido en electricidad de origen renovable y el biol en biofertilizante. La adecuada comercialización de esta electricidad permite disminuir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (EGEI) por la sustitución de electricidad de origen fósil y el biofertilizante puede disminuir el uso de fertilizantes nitrogenados basados en la urea. En Latinoamérica, la DA presenta retos operativos que limitan la comercialización de estos productos y comprometen la sostenibilidad de estos proyectos a escala industrial. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis crítico de las principales metodologías utilizadas para cuantificar la rentabilidad económica y ambiental de la DA, complementando con experiencias prácticas y teóricas en Latinoamérica. Las herramientas económicas analizadas fueron el valor actual neto (VAN), la tasa interna de retorno (TIR) y el periodo de recuperación de la inversión (PRI), los cuales mediante un análisis de los costos operativos y de capital, y los posibles ingresos por la reducción de EGEI, permiten cuantificar la viabilidad financiera de estos proyectos. Como criterio de desempeño ambiental se analizó la metodología de Análisis de Ciclo de Vida, la cual permite cuantificar todas las cargas ambientales evitadas por la DA. La información que reúne este trabajo ayuda significativamente a enriquecer la base de datos sobre el tratamiento de residuos orgánicos y ayudará a la toma de decisiones con respecto a los problemas ambientales.
