In 2015, at Honduras, there was a problem of using pine wood affected by dendroctunus frontalis, (spread over a 389,024.38 ha of pine). For this reason, the location study of the scenarios for the management of the biomass was proposed, in order to present a viable solution to the problem. In scenario 1, a plant with a capacity of 50 MW would be installed, and for the scenario 2, a system with two power plants of 35 MW and another of 25 MW would be installed to verify which of the two solutions generated a lower unitary cost per kilowatt/hour. In this case, four types of power plant technologies were evaluated to indicate the best fuel flow in each scenario. Therefore, scenario 2 presented the best unit cost values per kilowatt/ hour, being 35 MW net in CR3REG2REC power plant number 1 (US $ 0.0543 / kWh) and 25 MW net in
CR3REG2REC power plant number 2 (US $ 0.0799 / kWH).
