This work presents study details of a biomass based electricity generation project. The biomass used was industrial poultry litter. The objective of the work is to contribute to the research of poultry waste use in real life applications. In this sense, a case study is presented. The case study is an aviary industry region of southern Brazil, where is evaluated the technical and economic characteristics of power generation using biomass obtained from poultry litter. Still, it is highlighted the large energy potential and the high poultry litter production in the region, which translates into a important source of raw material for electricity generation, currently not highly explored in Brazil.
