1. An alternative energy generation from charcoal produced from Brazilian pine (Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze) seed residues
The perspective is that the energy demand will grow in the coming decades worldwide. The search for renewable energy sources is urgent and necessary. Residual biomass may be a promising source of raw material for obtaining bioenergy. Thus, this research sought to evaluate the energetic and physicochemical properties of residues from the seeds of Brazilian pi

2. Extraction and Characterization of Pequi Seed Oil for Biodiesel Production: A Green Management of Waste to Biofuel Using Ethanol and Heterogeneous Catalysis
This work reports the characterization of a vegetable oil extracted from pequi seeds, an agroindustrial residue, and its biodiesel production using ethanol and heterogeneous catalysis. The pequi seeds showed 40.73 wt.% of extractive content, which represents a large amount of the biomass composition. The crude oil extracted from the pequi seeds with ethanol

4. Selection of Jatropha genotypes for bioenergy purpose: an approach with multitrait, multiharvest and effective population size
ABSTRACT Jatropha curcas L. is a perennial plant with great potential for biodiesel production. Thus, the aim of this study was to select J. curcas genotypes for bioenergy purpose considering multitrait, multiharvest and effective population size. To this end, a data set with 70 J. curcas families, obtained through controlled crosses, evaluated in a randomiz

6. THERMOPHILIC BIOMETHANE PRODUCTION BY VINASSE IN AN AnSBBR: START-UP STRATEGY AND PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Abstract Thermophilic anaerobic digestion treatment of industrial wastewater generated at high temperatures can be used as an alternative for environmental pollution control and bioenergy production. Therefore, this study investigated thermophilic anaerobic reactors containing immobilized biomass (AnSBBR) to treat vinasse for methane production, in batch and

7. Economic and Environmental Analysis of Pellets’ Production in Rio Pardo Watershed, Brazil
ABSTRACT Economic and environmental aspects of residues energetic use in Brazil are extremelly important. In one hand, the country is today a recognized bioenergy producer in a global scenario; on the other, it is still struggling to provide a reliable renewable energy supply to rural communities. Local demand could be supplied through small investments usin

8. CHEMICAL AND ENERGETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AFRICAN SWEET SORGHUM AS A SOURCE OF BIOENERGY
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the energetic potential achieved by the application of phyto-regulators to sweet sorghum cultivars. A randomized complete block design was used. Experiments were conducted using two sweet sorghum cultivars (BRS 508 and BRS 509), fourphyto-regulators (ethephon, ethyl-trinexapac, glyphosate, and sulfometuron-methy

9. Effect of previous soil management on sugarcane response to nitrogen fertilization
ABSTRACT: N Fertilizer recommendations must be improved to optimize N use efficiency (NUE) for bioenergy crops. A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that sites varying in historical usage of by-product differ in soil N-supplying power and sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) responsiveness to N fertilization. Our aim was to quantify soil N availability and N f

10. Crop residue harvest for bioenergy production and its implications on soil functioning and plant growth: A review
ABSTRACT: The use of crop residues as a bioenergy feedstock is considered a potential strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, indiscriminate harvesting of crop residues can induce deleterious effects on soil functioning, plant growth and other ecosystem services. Here, we have summarized the information available in the literature to id

12. Dairy manure wastewater in serial UASB reactors for energy recovery and potential effluent reuse
Abstract This manuscript addresses the use of dairy manure wastewater (DMW) as a substrate for methane production in a high rate system - two serial UASB reactors - and the characterization of the effluent in the different phases of the treatment. Two experimental conditions were applied. In the first, the organic load rate (OLR) was 6.2 gCODtotal L-1 d-1 an
