Abstract

En este trabajo, se realizó una estimación de las potencialidades de generación de energía con recursos biomásico propios de la zona y se propuso un sistema de indicadores de sostenibilidad que evalúo el aporte del aprovechamiento de los recursos biomásico al completo eco-turístico Las Terrazas. Se confirmó que los residuos biomásico más importantes, son los ganaderos porcinos, que producen 3 m3 biogás/día, y los forestales provenientes de la sierra. En un total de 5 201 ha con recursos forestales, se estimó un potencial biomásico residual de 4 524,87 t/año, que corresponde con un potencial energético aprovechable de 9,52 GWh/año. Se planteó un sistema de indicadores biofísicos que puede expresar el nivel de sostenibilidad que podría alcanzar el asentamiento a partir del mayor aprovechamiento de los recursos biomásico disponibles.

Palabras claves: recursos biomásicos, comunidad rural, sostenibilidad, fuentes renovables de energía, potencial energético.

Abstract

In this work, an estimation was made of the potential for energy generation with biomass resources from the area, and a system of sustainability indicators was proposed to evaluate the contribution of the use of biomass resources to the eco-tourism complex Las Terrazas. It was confirmed that the most important biomass wastes are from pigs, which produce 3 m3 biogas/day, and forestry wastes from the mountains. In a total of 5 201 ha with forest resources, a residual biomass potential of 4 524,87 t/year was estimated, which corresponds to a usable energy potential of 9,52 GWh/year. A system of biophysical indicators was proposed that can express the level of sustainability that the settlement could reach from the best use of the available biomass resources.

Key words: biomass resources, rural community, sustainability, renewable energy sources, energy potential.
