O tabaco, mesmo ocupando 18% da área das propriedades, foi responsável por, em média, 53% da renda do produtor na safra 2017/2018. Observou-se um consumo maior de lenha em comparação à serragem, para cada kg de tabaco curado, 2,75 e 2,69 kg, respectivamente. Com relação à disponibilidade de resíduos florestais, foi demonstrado que existe um volume significativo para aproveitamento energético, e ainda ocioso, principalmente os oriundos do processamento de madeira. O uso da serragem em substituição à lenha foi tecnicamente viável e elevaria o nível de comprometimento do setor com a sustentabilidade da atividade fumageira.   Palavras-chave: tabaco, energia de biomassa, agricultura familiar   FOREST RESIDUES ENERGY USE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO FIREWOOD IN TOBACCO FARMING OF SOUTHERN BRAZIL   ABSTRACT: The objective was to characterize the tobacco culture in the southern states of Brazil also analyze the consumption of biomass in tobacco curing, and access availability of mechanical processing wood residues as an alternative supply of biomass for energy purposes. Tobacco, despite occupying only 18% of the properties area, it accounted for an average 53% of the farmers income in 2017/2018 crop. There was also a higher consumption of firewood compared to sawdust for each kg of cured tobacco, 2.75 and 2.69 kg, respectively. Regarding the forest residues availability, there is a significant amount of forest residues for energy recovery level that still idle, especially those from the wood processing. The sawdust usage to replace firewood was technically practicable and would raise the level of commitment of tobacco sector bringing more sustainability to this activity.   Keywords: tobacco, biomass energy, family farming

The use of renewable energies has a long past, even though its share of the total energy use is rather low in European terms. However, the tendencies are definitely favourable which is further strengthened by the dedication of the European Union to sustainable development and combat against climate change. The European Union is on the right track in achieving its goal which is to be able to cover 20% its energy need from renewable energy resources by 2020. The increased use of wind, solar, water, tidal, geothermal and biomass energy will reduce the energy import dependence of the European Union and it will stimulate innovation.

Biomass as an energy source will play a fundamental role in the coming years. The versatility of biomass-based generation systems makes them attractive projects at any scale. At the Technical University of Manabí, large quantities of organic and forest residues are generated, which can be used to generate energy. A survey was applied to determine the level of knowledge of the university community on issues related to the energy use of biomass and solid waste management. The results show that there is a knowledge gap in the community and it will be necessary, if such a system is implemented, to train all those involved in the generation, handling and disposal of solid waste to strengthen the proposal.
