This research presents results of the assessment of solid biofuels (residual biomasses from agricultural crops) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the period 2007-2012, for energy in agricultural uses. It is pointed out the available quantity, its geographic location at micro and meso regions and energy conversion potential. The methodology is based on a survey on municipal agricultural production of the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (quantity and local availability, per year) followed by determination of the amounts of agricultural assessed residues, and then applying equations from the literature to estimate the amount of energy (J) and power (kW) obtained from the thermal conversion of residual biomasses. Results are presented for three residual biomasses from agricultural crops (corn cobs, rice husk and sugarcane bagasse) with cartograms for all micro regions at the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, graphics for quantification in the cities where crops production occurs and a table for total energy obtained by conversion processes. For the whole state of MS, Dourados micro region was identified as the most promising for energy in agriculture with three main cities (Dourados, Rio Brilhante and Maracaju), by solid biofuel availability to provide about 11% of the total electrical energy consumption in 2014.
A região Centro-Oeste concentra os estados brasileiros com maiores escalas de produção da suinocultura, facilitando a logística de produção e distribuição de produtos (carne) e coprodutos de valor agregado (biogás e biofertilizantes). A atividade produz diariamente grandes quantidades de biomassa residual animal, a qual pode atender demanda energética local e/ou comercialização do excedente, bem como destino adequado dos efluentes gerados. Metodologia para determinação da quantidade de biogás (m³.ano-1) e eletricidade (kWh.ano-1), considera rebanho suíno efetivo (2008-2016) nas micro e mesorregiões do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Conclusões principais incluem quantificação do potencial energético em ~4% da eletricidade consumida no estado, bem como importância dos coprodutos (biogás e biofertilizante) com valor agregado relevantes no custeio da atividade da suinocultura e na sustentabilidade ambiental.
