The potentiality and perspectives for the production of biogas in western Paraná, Brazil, are analyzed through an exploratory methodology based on specialized literature. The theoretical referential focused on the production of biogas in swine breeding, production, perspectives and potential in producing biogas and its use. Data were retrieved from IPEADATA, EMBRAPA and Abipecs. Results demonstrate that the western region of the state of Paraná, Brazil, has great possibilities in biogas production due to swine herd which amounted to 2.085.267 units in 2012, with the capacity of producing 12.094.548 kg in waste products, capable of producing 4.233.092 m3 of biogas. The perspectives of agents involved in swine breeding, while taking care of the environment and producing biogas, are very high since results are favorable. However, biogas expansion requires government funds to regulate the activity and supply incentives for the production of renewable energy.Downloads
