Consumption and Characterization of Forestry Biomass Used in Tobacco Cure Process

Abstract: The tobacco production requires annually a large volume of firewood used in the cure process of tobacco leaves, representing up to 10% of its production cost. An alternative is the use of agroindustry residues, such as sawdust or pellets. The objective of this study was to analyze the consumption and to characterize forestry biomass used in the tobacco cure process in farmers from Candelária, Southern Brazil, aiming the culture energetic efficiency. Forestry biomass consumption, residues formation after combus… Show more

“…In Table 2, it is possible to observe the characteristics supporting pellets as the best energy source. A study by Welter [28] recommended pellets as an efficient energy source for crop drying, emphasizing the greater calorific power, lignin, and higher energy density compared to firewood.…”

“…A fumicultura no país destaca-se tanto pelo viés econômico (Maraseni e Qu 2016), bem como pelos danos ambientais causados, desde o plantio até a secagem da folha do tabaco (Inca 2022). Reduzir estes danos apresenta-se como uma perspectiva possível diante deste contexto, principalmente pelo uso de novas estratégias, a exemplo do uso da biomassa florestal (Welter et al, 2019).…”

“…Uma das possibilidades de reduzir a emissão de GEE na fumicultura, por meio de uma economia de baixo carbono é por meio da utilização de energia limpa e renovável pelo uso e implementação de diferentes tecnologias que possam maximizar o uso de insumos, mantendo ou aumentando a produtividade, por meio, por exemplo, da utilização de biomassa em substituição ao carvão no processo de cura do tabaco (He et al, 2021), e da lenha (Welter et al, 2019). Cabe destacar-se neste sentido que a possibilidade de variar a matriz energética, reduz a dependência de combustíveis fósseis, e amplia a aceitação da biomassa florestal como combustível alternativo (Possidônio et al, 2016).…”

“…As an important type of clean energy, biomass fuel has been used in many countries that grow flue-cured tobacco [15,16], and through an analysis of existing literature and data, some researchers have agreed that the use of biomass energy is a feasible way of curing tobacco without employing fossil fuels, thereby allowing for the "greening" of the tobacco flue-curing process [17]. In the past, the most primitive form of biomass fuel involved the direct burning of agricultural straw for flue-cured tobacco heating; however, this has not been continuously promoted due to the high labor costs involved [18].…”
