Resumo

This paper will present a pioneer project of electric energy generation from renewable sources

“ENERMAD - Implementation of a thermal power plant of 200 kW using wood residues from a sawmill

industry in Amazon region”. This project intends to install a thermal power plant based on micro steam

turbine system using wood residues from a sawmill industry located at an isolated community, in Pará

state. Nowadays, the energy supply in the sawmill is based on a diesel generator. Although the steam

turbine system, which will be used in this project, is commercially available in Brazil, until now there isn’t

a registration of electricity generation with biomass, with less than 200 kW of capacity in operation. With

this project, it is expected that suppliers get interested in develop small capacity equipments to confirm

the economical viability of the project, as well as the cost reduction and the efficient gains
