Comparative study of agricultural carbonization and forest residues in order to substitute firewood in the process of drying coffee beansThe present work aimed to compare the energy potential of residues generated in the processing of coffee beans (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner, var. Conilon) and in the wood milling process, suggesting their use as a replacement for eucalyptus firewood in the drying process of coffee beans. The use of agricultural and forestry waste could help reduce environmental problems related to contamination of soil, air and water due to inadequate disposal, and reduce the cost of production and or processing of coffee. By-products of dry distillation and charcoal of these raw materials were quantified and compared. According to the results, it was verified that the residue of coffee hulls
