Abstract
Using an entrepreneurship project methodology at the College of Scientific and
Technological Studies of the State of Mexico, Tequixquiac Campus, a domestic
biodigester prototype was developed for rural and urban communities to contribute to
ecotechnological development. The goal is to reduce emissions of polluting gases and
promote a sustainable ecological culture in the region. This device transforms organic
waste into biogas and fertilizer (biol) through anaerobic fermentation, contributing to the
reduction of polluting emissions and the utilization of domestic and livestock waste. The
project addresses the need for sustainable energy alternatives to the predominant use of
fossil fuels, aligning with the seventh goal of the UN's 2030 Agenda: affordable and clean
energy. The prototype was built with readily available materials such as plastic drums,
PVC pipes, and a wooden casing to facilitate its aesthetic integration into homes. It
includes innovations such as electronic valves, LED indicators, and an LCD screen to
control gas usage. Furthermore, a system for exchanging biofertilizer for agricultural
products is envisioned, promoting the circular economy and supporting the agricultural
sector. The research included a state-of-the-art analysis, technical references on
biodigesters, and biogas production tests under different climatic conditions. The
construction process was documented, from drilling into drums to installing filters, water
traps, and gas distribution systems.
