dc.descriptionEcuador faces the challenge of sustainably managing the waste and by-products generated by the agro-industrial sector, a key pillar of its economy. The inefficient accumulation of these wastes not only causes negative environmental impacts, such as water pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases, but also represents a loss of resources with high energy and agricultural potential. In this context, the present research analyzes the efficiency of various technological processes for the valorization of agro-industrial waste for the production of renewable energy and fertilizers. The study addresses the classification of the main types of agro-industrial waste generated in Ecuador, with an emphasis on by-products from the sugar, dairy, and banana industries—sectors of high national relevance. Based on a technical and scientific analysis, conversion technologies such as anaerobic digestion, gasification, direct combustion, and the production of biofertilizers through composting and digestates are identified. Their efficiency levels, environmental impact, and economic feasibility are compared to determine the most optimal alternatives within the Ecuadorian context. Moreover, the valorization of agro-industrial waste in Ecuador represents a key strategy for promoting the country’s sustainable development. This study provides a reference framework for the implementation of efficient technological solutions. Likewise, it highlights the importance of establishing public policies that promote the use of these technologies, as well as the technical training of the stakeholders involved. Strengthening partnerships between the public, private, and academic sectors is essential to ensure an integrated and sustainable management of agro-industrial wastees_ES

dc.description.abstractEcuador enfrenta el reto de gestionar de manera sostenible los residuos y subproductos generados por la agro-industria, un sector clave en su economía. La acumulación ineficiente de estos desechos no solo genera impactos ambientales negativos, como la contaminación del agua y la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, sino que también representa una pérdida de recursos con alto potencial energético y agrícola. En este contexto, la presente investigación analiza la eficiencia de diferentes procesos tecnológicos en la valorización de residuos agro-industriales para la producción de energía renovable y fertilizantes. El estudio aborda la clasificación de los principales residuos agroindustriales generados en Ecuador, con énfasis en subproductos de la industria azucarera, láctea y bananera, sectores de alta relevancia en el país. A partir de un análisis técnico y científico, se identifican tecnologías de conversión como la biodigestión anaeróbica, la gasificación, la combustión directa y la producción de biofertilizantes mediante compostaje y digestatos. Se comparan sus niveles de eficiencia, impacto ambiental y viabilidad económica para determinar las alternativas más óptimas en el contexto ecuatoriano. Además, la valorización de residuos agroindustriales en Ecuador representa una estrategia clave para promover el desarrollo sostenible del país. Este estudio proporciona un marco de referencia para la implementación de soluciones tecnológicas eficientes, asimismo, se destaca la importancia de establecer políticas públicas que incentiven el uso de estas tecnologías, así como la capacitación técnica de los actores involucrados. El fortalecimiento de alianzas entre el sector público, privado y académico resulta esencial para garantizar una gestión integral y sostenible de los residuos agroindustrialeses_ES
