DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOPROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL FROM MACAUBA
Biorefinery; Macaw palm fruit; Hemicellulose; Bioethanol
In recent years the concern and search for alternative fuels has intensified globally. In this scenario, studies aimed at the production of fuel alcohol and biodiesel in Brazil and in the world have become of fundamental importance, driving several sectors to seek technologies that can contribute to socioeconomic and environmental development. In this context, the present work aimed to integrate the two main Brazilian energy matrices, from the characterization of the co-products from the biodiesel chain to evaluate the potential for ethanol production, and also the production of this fuel from the most promising ones.
