N2 - The biorefinery (BRF) of organic solid wastes (RSO) proposes the use and transformation of the organic fraction of urban solid waste to obtain bioenergy and value-added products. RSO’s BRF research and development in the international framework have proven potential and factual benefits in the framework of sustainable development. In addition, there is international evidence on the possible benefits of legislation related to BRFs. Consequently, by transitive ownership, BRF legislation will surely have a great contribution to sustainable development in Mexico. This work seeks to determine the status of biorefinery legislation in México, through a comparative analysis of laws in the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA). The results show that there is no legislation or policy that regulates BRF technology in Mexico and compared to the laws of the USA and the EU, Mexico shows a lag. However, in the field of bioenergy, the current legislation presents an encouraging advance, which can be used as a basis for developing legislation on BRF. In order to achieve energy independence in Mexico and reduce greenhouse gases, it is necessary to advance in the generation of energy and sustainable development policies that support the design and operation of BRF that take advantage of RSO and are capable of producing biofuels, bioenergy and value-added bioproducts. Otherwise, legal uncertainty would delay the development of this technology.
