Brazil has great potential for biomass production. There are several processes to convert biomass into energy; among these is the biological conversion of organic carbon into methane. This work aimed to estimate the production of biogas in a poultry slaughterhouse in Matelandia state of Paraná; Brazil; by the IPCC methodology. The poultry slaughterhouse slaughter 140;000 poultries a day and generates a wastewater FLOW OF 3;360 m3.d-1. Electricity consumption by the industry plant is about 3;600 MWh.month-1. The treatment system used in industry is the physical and biological process; and the pre-treatment consists of a static sieve and a flotation equipment; followed by stabilization ponds. Two anaerobic ponds were covered with a geomembrane of High Density Polyethylene and was installed a gas meter to measure the flow rate of biogas production. The biogas generation potential estimated can reduce 3.89% of the electricity consumed.
