The urban solid waste appears today as a relevant modern urban environmental problem, one of the most important trouble for the human communities. It’s very difficult to manage the final destination due the expressive volume of waste accumulated every year. This work proposes the use of urban solid waste as an alternative source of energy generation, transforming it into biogas, other fuels or biomass, since energy issues are a critical point into world economies, due to the increasing energy consumption and the difficulty of to meet this demand. This work aims to show the political, economic and environmental advantages the use of urban waste as base material for its energy matrix. Using the study of environmental laws looking for opportunities for increase of the energy matrix with the use of biomass, and how this would impact the economy of a certain region, will be used as bed test for simulation the municipality of Rosana - SP, where occurs the energy UNESP engineering course. The increasing demand for energy and the difficulty of expanding current energy sources will leads the search for new energy resources. In order to achieve these objectives, we will seek an evaluation of the methodologies and tools that have helped us in the search for the economic and technical advantages for the energy processing and transformation of solid waste into commodities or energy. We will also look for a solution for implementation of the method in small cities, which is one of the lines of research for the sustainability of small communities and rural areas on planet earth.
