This project aimed to present reuse alternates for the waste produced in the industrial processing of açaí, and thus obtain processing plants that minimize the release of waste products. A previous evaluation of this matter pointed out technological alternatives through which would be possible to: I) reuse the residue inside or outside the processing plant, or, II) produce byproducts with aggregated value. The project proposed to develop support technologies to the açaí agroindustrial complex, w ...

The recent expansion of sugarcane's culture by the mid-southern states of Brazil (Paraná, São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais - except the north, and Goiás), has been mostly happening on areas where degraded grasslands occur, characterized by eroded soils which are poor in nutrients, under distinct hydric regimes in regions of traditional sugarcane production. The incorporation of these flat topography areas enables mechanized harvesting and a more intensive soil use, with the eliminatio ...

This is a broad research project on Barbados nuts, a crop with potential to become raw material for the production of biodiesel and aviation biokerosene. In spite of its high oil production, the plant has not been totally domesticated yet, that is, there are not different recommended cultivars or production systems for each region of the country yet. In this project, which is partially funded by Finep and CNPq, there are 22 participating research institutions in all Brazilian regions, 16 of whic

Focusing on the development of the Canola production chain in the Federal District and surroundings, Embrapa Agroenergia closed a partnership with Cooperativa Agrícola do Rio Preto (Coarp) for the execution of the project "Sustainable production system for the cultivation and processing of Canola oil in the Cerrado with a focus on the bioeconomy (Procanola). In the first year of the project (2021), an average productivity of 2 thousand kg/ha was reached, above the Brazilian average, which is 1,4 ...
