摘要

Energy-supported biorefinery chain supported by photovoltaic panel aiming the integral processing of the main cashew tree components (chestnut, stalk, exudate, branches and pruning) and / or their generated waste and effluents. This patent application aims to present a process of a chain of biorefineries for the full and sustainable use of cashew tree components, unlike traditional procedures, whether large or small scale. Within this context, it is an appropriate and timely tool, since this use is made in a sustainable way, and we propose the full utilization of all cashew components and / or their residues through a chain of biorefineries. It should be noted that in tropical and / or semi-arid regions there is an adequate insolation level for photovoltaic power generation that can be integrated to meet the needs of the biorefineries chain, avoiding the burning of waste for thermal generation that is a threat to increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, as well as in the capture and / or treatment of wastewater. This strategy is a strong instrument suitable for the generation of jobs and income in the rural communities of northeastern Brazil.
