There is a gap in the literature regarding the quality and suitability of charcoals produced from the abundant logging wastes from sustainable forest management in the Brazilian Amazonia. Our study aimed to characterize and group charcoals produced from the wastes of 20 logged native species in an Amazonia Forest Management Area according to their physical, chemical, and energy properties. Moreover, we analyzed the carbonization mass balance and oil equivalent energy fraction of charcoal. We verified significant variations for charcoal bulk density (0.423–0.620 g cm⁻³), gravimetric yield in charcoal (34.4–45.5%) and in non-condensable gases (15.2–25.0%), ash content (0.5–9.6%), yield in fixed carbon (24.4–33.2%), energy density (12.3–18.4 GJ m⁻³), energy yield (53.8–70.9%), and retained carbon (54.1–71.0%). Our study revealed that the total extractives overcame the effect of lignin on the carbonization mass balance, yields, and charcoal quality from logging wastes. These biofuels present suitable equivalences with fossil fuels; however, their use must consider quality. Principal component analysis segregated charcoal into five groups with similar characteristics for carbonization in brick kilns to supply the local steel industry and domestic systems in the Amazonia.

关于巴西亚马逊地区可持续森林管理中大量采伐废物产生的木炭的质量和适用性方面，文献上存在差距。我们的研究旨在根据其物理，化学和能量特性，对在亚马逊森林管理区中从20种原木物种的废料中产生的木炭进行特征化和分组。此外，我们分析了木炭的碳化质量平衡和油当量能级。我们验证了木炭容重（0.423–0.620 g cm ^-3），木炭（34.4–45.5％）和非冷凝性气体（15.2–25.0％），灰分（0.5–9.6％），固定碳产量（24.4–33.2％），能量密度（12.3–18.4 GJ m ^-3），能源产量（53.8–70.9％）和残留碳（54.1–71.0％）。我们的研究表明，总提取物克服了木质素对伐木废物中碳化质量平衡，产量和木炭质量的影响。这些生物燃料具有与化石燃料相当的当量。但是，其使用必须考虑质量。主成分分析将木炭分为五组，具有相似的特征，可用于砖窑中的碳化，从而为亚马逊地区的本地钢铁行业和家庭系统提供原料。
