SUMMARY:

The production of alternative energy material through plant biomass represents a significant advancement in research today, as the burning of fossil fuels significantly contributes to the greenhouse effect, which threatens the Earth's climate balance. The production of energy from lignocellulosic crops has been growing significantly in recent years in Brazil. Therefore, this study employs techniques that are already known but still not widely disseminated, with the purpose of utilizing biomass from six different cultivars of elephant grass as an alternative source for bio-oil production and the subsequent study of their chemical composition using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry for use as biofuels. Elephant grass, widely cultivated in Brazil and used as animal feed, is among the forage species with the highest photosynthetic efficiency for biomass production with a high lignocellulosic content, enabling its use for energy purposes, biochar production, and bio-oil. The present study aims to evaluate these six varieties of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), assessing and characterizing the products derived from pyrolysis, especially bio-oil, using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
