Sumario:The production of polluting waste, the increase in greenhouse gases, climate change and the growing demand for energy; prioritize the identification of energy alternatives to manage less critical territories. Therefore, this article proposes to analyze anaerobic biodigestion as a generator of bioenergy from livestock waste, based on a case study in the Province of Buenos Aires, to evaluate the transformation of a waste into a product, taking into account possibilities and obstacles in a context of energy transition, distributed generation and regulatory frameworks under construction. Data from secondary and primary sources were triangulated. Obstacles are part of the process, but this technology is an opportunity in the face of the criticality and limitations of centralized hydrocarbon-dependent systems. Preliminary results state that producing bioenergy from livestock waste: i-transforms a waste / pollution / problem into bioenergy, ii- diversifies income, iii- generates biofertilizers and iv- visualizes multifunctional rural spaces.
