Sumario:Despite the adverse scenario for economic growth, the demand for energy continues to grow and consolidates itself as a promising area for investments. In this perspective, this work aims to analyze the economic feasibility for cogeneration or energy autonomy of electricity production in a particular scenario of a cocoa farm, through a rural biodigester model of the Navy, in a case study carried out in the city of Barro Preto, Bahia. The parameters for verifying the economic and energy viability are analyzed in relation to the energy generating system and constructive elements of the biodigester. The economic viability indicators show promising values ??regarding the benefits obtained from replacing the energy load purchased from the concessionaire with the one generated in the system, derived from biogas, showing that the project can be considered viable.
