**Abstract**

The waste generated from human activities consists of molecules composed of hydrogen, carbon, minerals, metals, and water, representing the moisture content of the biomass. This moisture content plays a crucial role in determining the most suitable technology for extracting its potential. This chapter proposes a technological route based on the humidity content, offering optimal alternatives for biomass transformation. Additionally, a quantitative method is presented to aid in the selection of the ideal transformation technology.
