To estimate the energy potential of pig manure, we (a)  identified and classified a portuguese pig farm in terms of animal population and husbandry system; and (b) calculated the farm-specific manure production with its related combustion, syngas and biogas potential taking into account its chemical composition. The farm has a capacity for about 50.000 pigs for a total of 4.768 livestock units (LU). It is a closed cycle pig farm in an intensive production system. The annual production of pig manure is estimated to be 250 m3/day and annual energy consumption in 2015 was 483.900 kWh/year of thermal energy and 718.525 kWh/year of electricity.
