Abstract

The demand for renewable energy is growing around the world. The participation of biomass, for the direct combustion of wood, charcoal, agricultural residues, among others, becomes more expressive. This opinion paper reports on the use of biomass as an energy source in Brazil, particularly the Eucalyptus genus.
