In this article, a model project of a 300 KW gasifier that uses agricultural residues to generate electricity in the department of León, Nicaragua, was integral evaluated. An integral evaluation model was used to assess the project, which included a financial evaluation indicating profitability through the net present value and the internal rate of return; the economic evaluation through the net economic present value and the economic internal rate resulted in the same profitable. Also, the socioeconomic benefits of the project and the environmental impacts in the form of greenhouse gas emissions were evaluated. Therefore, it is determined that for the assumptions considered in this study, the electricity generation activity using agricultural waste gasification is Integrally profitable.
