Los juicios emitidos sobre las comparaciones por pares para la combustión de las fuentes de biomasas estudiadas con respecto a cada criterio y sub-criterio. Los resultados obtenidos del análisis AHP muestran que los criterios de emergía y exergía son considerados como los factores más importantes para la evaluación de la sostenibilidad de la biomasa, con un PVE de 0,539 y 0,297 respectivamente, seguido del análisis energético (PVE = 0,164). Basado en estos criterios de preferencias para la evaluación del potencial de aprovechamiento de la biomasa cañera, se puede constatar que la alternativa más adecuada para la conversión de biomasa en energía es la combustión de bagazo, seguido de la combustión de bagazo-Residuos Agrícolas de Cosecha (RAC).]]></p></abstract>

The judgments issued on the pairwise comparisons for the combustion of the biomass sources studied with respect to each criterion and sub-criterion. The results obtained from the AHP analysis show that the emergence and exergy criteria are considered as the most important factors for the evaluation of biomass sustainability, with a PVE of 0.539 and 0.297 respectively, followed by the energy analysis (PVE = 0.164). Based on these preference criteria for the evaluation of the potential of sugarcane biomass, it can be verified that the most suitable alternative for the conversion of biomass into energy is the combustion of bagasse, followed by the combustion of bagasse-AHR.]]></p></abstract>
