This work evaluates the potential for slaughterhouse industry waste conversion into raw energy products in the European Union. On this objective, it develops a theoretical model of energy consumption and availability as a function of waste quality, validated with real data. It is used to study the valorization potential of these wastes in Europe at the country level by conducting a logical and specialized classification of the waste generated. Three scenarios are considered depending on the pathway for the valorization of products. The optimal scenario predicts a net energy capacity at the EU up to 7152 kWh/tonne. It corresponds to an additional annual net energy production capacity at the European Union of almost 50000 million kWh with an increase in waste energy recovery of 48%. The maximum potential capacity is identified in Spain which has the potential to produce 7000 million kWh/year or Denmark, which could produce 293 kWh/year per capita.
