The use of solid biofuels in for industrial heat has gained interest in several countries of the world, due to the economic advantages offered by its use since it is considered a neutral renewable energy source of greenhouse gas emissions greenhouse. Even with the high availability of biomass in Mexico, with appropriate characteristics for incineration, its development has lagged behind other countries. It is important to carry out economic and environmental feasibility studies of the biomass systems already installed in order to identify opportunities for its optimization. This article presents 2 environmental and economic feasibility studies of the use of BCS for process heat; using agave bagasse and pine woodchip among other biofuels. An emission analysis, an ACV analysis as well as an economic feasibility analysis are carried out and the results are compared with the use of fossil fuels to determine their feasibility in the medium term
