| Spanish abstract | La energía eléctrica en Colombia depende, fundamentalmente, de hidroeléctricas (70,0%) y termoeléctricas (29,3%), desaprovechando otras fuentes de energías renovables como la biomasa residual pecuaria, entre otras. El estiércol que se genera en la explotación pecuaria sobrepasa los 81 millones de toneladas anuales, con un potencial energético de más de 71.000 TJ/año; y no se aprovecha actualmente. Sin embargo, genera problemas de contaminación, principalmente por su inadecuada disposición final, debido a la explotación extensiva que se practica actualmente, en especial en los casos de cría de bovinos, búfalos, caballos, ovejas, cabras y una fracción de porcinos. Si se quisiera utilizar el actual potencial energético solo se podría aprovechar una fracción del mismo (14,3%); especialmente. . |
| English abstract | Electricity in Colombia depends, basically, on hydroelectric (70.0%) and thermoelectric (29.3%) systems, leaving aside other sources of renewable energy such as livestock residual biomass, among others. The manure generated in the livestock operation exceeds 81 million tons per year, with an energy potential of more than 71,000 TJ / year; and it is not currently used. However, it generates pollution problems, mainly caused by its inadequate final disposal, due to the extensive exploitation that is currently practiced, especially in the cases of raising cattle, buffalo, horses, sheep, goats and a fraction of swine. If one wanted to use the current energy potential, only a fraction of it could be used (14.3%); especially the energy produced by the poultry sector and a fraction of swine, because these two sectors have a high percentage of exploitation in technical farms, which facilitate the collection of this resource. It is estimated that 864 GWh / year could be generated if the residual biomass obtained from those farms is used, equivalent to 1.3% of the current national electricity demand |
