Summary: | The search for sustainable processes is growing in different media, however, is the replacement of
fossil fuels with renewable fuels that have greater focus. Find cultures with potential for oil
production and have high performance is a major bottleneck to the growth of biofuels. This
literature review aims to contribute information about a productive and efficient in the production
of palm oil, the macauba. This palm has an average fruit yield of 15 t ha-1
and average yield of 4 t
ha-1
oil well above the yield of the most commonly used oil, such as soybean, castor bean,
sunflower, cotton and peanuts, which has average productivity of 1 t ha-1
. Thus, macauba shows
potential for sustainable biofuel production and extraction of family, and be found in virtually all
regions of Brazil.
