Embrapa Agroenergy R&D&I actions and Strategy: general
1. To contribute for structuring state level programs for agrienergy production;
2. To identify real and potential raw material sources for biofuels production integrated in the regional productive chain;
3. To perform the agroclimatic and risk zonning for the identified raw material sources;
4. To define certified raw material sources, production systems, and infra-structure for production of certified materials aiming their recommendation.

Cellulosic Materials:- Lignocellulosic biomass technology.- Biorefineries that produce an array of valuable chemicals and products together with bulk biofuels.-Lower the cost of the known technology which breaks cellulose and hemicellulose down into their component sugars using enzymatic hydrolysis (cellulase enzymes).- Ferment sugars to bioethanol (in several different alternative ways).
Chemical Process – New Biodiesel Routes: - Use of ethanol instead of methanol.- New catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous)- Vegetable oil from native palms
Thermochemical Process: - Pyrolysis and Gasification to syngas and biochar
