Inventory data on Brazilian Amazon׳s non-wood native biomass sources for bioenergy production

Abstract

This data article presents a set of non-wood native biomass sources identified for bioenergy production in isolated communities living in Amazon׳s extractive reserves. The data were inventoried using management plan documentation, which provides technical information on Amazon׳s protected areas. The sample was collected from a virtual database published by the Ministry of Environment, the federal body responsible for managing protected areas in Brazil. Five variables were extracted from the management plans to produce the inventory, which includes data on biomass typology, nomenclature and occurrence, as well as mode of access to communities and availability of energy sources in the protected areas.

Evaluation of quality parameters and chromatographic, spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric profile of Patauá oil (Oenocarpus bataua)

“…According to Rodrigues et al (2010), the average oil content in the pulp of Patauá is 41.78% and around 1% in the seeds. Patauá pulp and seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic acid (ω-9) (Rodrigues et al, 2010;Dlugogorski et al, 2012;Santos et al, 2013b;Carrillo et al, 2018;Flores et al, 2018;Pereira et al, 2019).…”

Sustainability indicators for bioenergy generation from Amazon׳s non-woody native biomass sources

“…Considering the universe of forest biomass, the construction of the indicators aimed the creation of sustainability parameters for Amazon׳s non-woody native biomass sources (fruits) [6] , which are modern forms of biomass. Selection followed the typology described by Brand [7] in the physical flow of forest biomass for energy generation ( Fig.…”

Biocarvão como condicionar de substratos para a produção de mudas de espécies florestais nativas

“…A maioria dos resíduos lignocelulósicos são adequados para a produção de biocarvão (Tripathi et al, 2016), pois apresentam propriedades químicas desejáveis, como baixo teor de umidade e alto teor de carbono, lignina e nitrogênio (Duku et al, 2011;Alhashimi & Aktas, 2017). No contexto brasileiro, observa-se maior interesse pelas fontes de resíduos agrícolas e florestais, principalmente pelo grande disponibilidade e baixo custo de aquisição (Bonassa et al, 2018;Flores et al, 2018;Silva et al, 2018).…”
