Biogas digester projects around the world have been a proved renewable source of energy. The Ecuadorian dairy production sector could benefit from the implementation of biogas technology. In order to assess the feasibility of applying it in dairy farms located in rural areas, a model farm was simulated through theoretical calculations, which determined that it was feasible. A digester was designed, as well as a high performance confined animal feeding operation, and a generator was chosen according to the resources available in the model farm. The resources were compared to those in North American farms in order to understand the factors that would retard performance, and also recommend alternatives. The most important outcome of the project was the improvement of the quality of life in rural areas, reflected in education, training and environmental awareness of the people. Material benefits that contribute to the life quality improvement are the availability of better quality milk, distributed generation of electricity, management of unhealthy wastes, and availability of value added organic fertilizer.
