The agri-food sector is permanently evolving and nowadays is facing important challenges derived from sustainability policies and market requirements. Hence, the proper management of residues and effluents has become a key factor not only due to the laws in force, but also because of view of operation efficiency and market requirements, as well. Thus, this paper assesses the potential use of the organic waste generated by agroindustry, in La Rioja, as a source of biofuel generation. For such purpose, primary data
have been directly collected from factories and the stream wastes have been sampled and characterized. Despite this study must be further developed, until now, collected data leads to theoretically estimate that the region might produce up to 200 GWh per year. This value poses an important contribution to the region’s energy independence, the improvement of the environmental footprint and the generation of added value for companies and rural localities.
