Potencial de produção de biogás com biomassa do líquido da casca de coco verde no estado do Ceará

Abstract

The state of Ceará is considered the second largest producer of the fruit and faces problems with the accumulation of waste generated by the consumption of green coconut water. In view of the above, the present work had the objective of analyzing the biogas production potential with biomass of the green coconut shell liquid in the state of Ceará. Secondary data were obtained from scientific information platforms and specialized organ sites on productive activity. In this case, it is estimated that an amount of 15,000 green coconut can generate 15 m3 of effluent, resulting in the production of 300 m3 of biogas, equivalent to 1,950 kWh. Therefore, the biomass of Bark of the Green Cocoa (powder, fiber or liquid) exists in great quantity and availability in the state of Ceará, and becomes a solution in the biogas energy production, biofertilizers, besides reutilization in other byproducts as agricultural substrates , crafts, fabric manufacture, among others, in addition to minimizing the environmental liabilities of productive activity in the region
