Abstract
The 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.
