ABSTRACT: In addition to the efforts undertaken by research
institutions to generate new knowledge and technologies, it is also necessary
to promote the results of this research. Specifically, there is a need for an
information system that aggregates, organizes and systematizes information
about agro-energy technology and makes it available on the Internet. Despite
the abundance of information circulating on the internet in Brazil, a specific
method for sharing valid scientific and technological information of practical
interest, such as technical guidance and recommendations for processing various
materials and production technologies for various forms of agro-energy, has not
yet been established. This article presents the Agro-energy Tree of Knowledge, a
tool developed by Embrapa to enable web access to comprehensive information
about bioenergy production systems applied in different regions and conditions,
in addition to texts, publications, statistical data about production and
economic markets and information links related to agro-energy.
