| description | Municipal solid waste (MSW) is the waste generated by the city population, a product of residential, institutional and commercial activities in each municipality. It is considered garbage and is taken to a landfill for its final disposition Its composition is diverse, organic and inorganic waste, microorganisms among others. Waste with inorganic composition mostly has energy properties measured through its heat capacity; this property is of great importance to be used in Waste to Energy (WTE) processes. In Colombia there is still no successful case of implementation of waste-to-energy conversion technologies and feasibility will depend on the regional context in addition to the particularities of the market. This work shows a specific case study through a technical evaluation of the potential use as an energy source of the MSW received in the Terrazas del Porvenir landfill in Sogamoso. The results showed that the recovery of only 42.3% of this waste has an approximate energy potential of 628 TJ/year, which contributes to the supply of energy demand in the region's industries and the possible substitution of fossil fuels such as coal, in addition to the positive contribution to reducing the environmental impact and increasing the useful life of the landfill located in Sogamoso by 5 years. |

Los residuos sólidos municipales (MSW) por sus siglas en inglés, son aquellos residuos generados por la población en las ciudades, producto de las actividades residenciales, institucionales y comerciales en cada municipio, los cuales se consideran basura y son llevados a un relleno sanitario para su disposición final. Su composición es diversa, residuos orgánicos, inorgánicos, microorganismos entre otros. Los residuos con composición inorgánica, en su mayoría cuentan con propiedades energéticas medidas a través de su capacidad calorífica, esta propiedad es de gran importancia para aprovecharla en procesos Waste to Energy (WTE). En Colombia aún no existe un caso exitoso de implementación de tecnologías de conversión energética de residuos y la viabilidad dependerá del contexto regional además de las particularidades del mercado. El presente trabajo muestra un caso de estudio específico por medio de una evaluación técnica del potencial aprovechamiento como fuente de energía de los MSW recibidos en el relleno sanitario Terrazas del Porvenir del municipio de Sogamoso. Los resultados mostraron que la recuperación de solo el 42.3% de estos residuos tiene un potencial energético aproximado de 628 TJ/año, lo cual contribuye a la oferta en la demanda energética de las industrias de la región y la posible sustitución de combustibles fósiles como carbón, además del aporte positivo en la disminución del impacto ambiental y al aumento en 5 años de la vida útil del relleno sanitario ubicado en el municipio de Sogamoso.
