Pasivos puestos en valor. Análisis de rentabilidad de ingresar al comercio de biogás licuado en la región sudamericana

By converting biomass from agricultural and livestock waste into by-products such as biogas and biofertilizer, agricultural producers have the opportunity to turn costs into income. This increases domestic value added and employment in an environmentally friendly manner, while also increasing profitability and efficiency. Argentina's rural sector suffers from an annual limitation in the supply of diesel oil needed to process and market its production. It would be possible to enrich the biogas into biomethane and then transform it into fuel for long distance transportation. Its sale would contribute to the regional Argentina-Brazil-Chile transit, thus helping solve a structural problem, with the reduction of polluting emissions and saves in foreign currency. In this work, we have designed an investment project for the production of liquefied biogas on a national scale, including the installation of pumps at 10 retail sites in Argentina, in line with intra-regional transit. By estimating the financial flows used to calculate the profitability, we determined the feasibility of the proposal, contributing to the environmental commitments previously made by Argentina.
