Abstract

The energy of the biomass constitutes an action line that will allow harmonizing the growth targets, social justness and environmental sustainability. It is carried out an evaluation of the characteristics chemicals of the wood and charcoal of the species Dichrostachys cinerea (L.) Wigth et Arm. (marabú). It was found that of wood presents a high content of extractive in hot water of 12,5-13,0 %, in organic solvents of 3,2-3,4 %, cellulose percentage (48,0 %) and lignin (33 %). The obtained charcoals present among 2-6 % in content of ashy, 64-83 % of fixed carbon, as well as the density above the reported limits. It was observed that the chemical composition of the wood corroborates its excellent energy qualities, a charcoal of quality comparable with other species that they are used in a traditional way for the production of charcoal.
