The analysis was performed through mass, energy, and exergy balances using literature data and computer simulation and considering the use of a continuous stirred tank reactor. In this study, an exergy analysis was performed to determine the exergetic efficiency and exergy destruction in the biogas process produced from the anaerobic digestion of vinasse. Various methodologies are used to support the decision on process parameters and operating conditions to find the most effective and sustainable ones. However, it is still necessary to improve the technology associated with its production, adapting it to an efficient, safe, and competitive scale. Biogas is a mixture of gases, primarily consisting of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, that can be used for electrical and thermal energy generation or as fuel. Anaerobic digestion is a promising process for treating organic waste and producing biogas. The use of agro-industrial and urban organic waste to produce energy seems to be one of the most attractive options for the future of energy supply.
