Economic and social development around the world has contributed to increased energy demands, which have strained the energy supply chain. The global energy matrix depends on the exploitation of fossil fuels, which are responsible for disastrous social, political, and environmental impacts. This situation has led to the need for technological advances in the development of new sources of safe, renewable, and sustainable energy production. In recent years, biomass has gained importance among emerging sources of energy production due to its abundance and renewable nature. Therefore, this study reviews the availability and physicochemical properties of unexplored Amazonian biomass sources, which, in principle, neither compete with food production nor have disastrous environmental impacts on the Amazon forest. This review also focuses on thermochemical conversion methods for possible application of the biomasses under study to produce electricity for geographically isolated communities in the Amazon, whose electricity comes from generators powered by diesel oil, a nonrenewable and relatively expensive resource. The information provided in this article is important for the formulation of alternative and renewable energy government policies for the Amazon region, in addition to presenting a scientific study of the main biomass available in the region, including thermochemical characteristics for energy conversion.

世界各地的经济和社会发展导致能源需求增加，从而使能源供应链紧张。全球能源矩阵依赖于化石燃料的开采，化石燃料造成了灾难性的社会、政治和环境影响。这种情况导致需要在开发安全、可再生和可持续能源生产的新来源方面取得技术进步。近年来，由于其丰富和可再生的性质，生物质在新兴的能源生产来源中变得越来越重要。因此，本研究回顾了未开发的亚马逊生物质来源的可用性和理化特性，这些来源原则上既不与粮食生产竞争，也不会对亚马逊森林造成灾难性的环境影响。本综述还侧重于热化学转化方法，以研究可能应用所研究的生物质为亚马逊地理上孤立的社区发电，这些社区的电力来自以柴油为动力的发电机，柴油是一种不可再生且相对昂贵的资源。本文提供的信息对于为亚马逊地区制定替代和可再生能源政府政策非常重要，此外还介绍了对该地区可用的主要生物质的科学研究，包括能源转换的热化学特性。不可再生且相对昂贵的资源。本文提供的信息对于为亚马逊地区制定替代和可再生能源政府政策非常重要，此外还介绍了对该地区可用的主要生物质的科学研究，包括能源转换的热化学特性。不可再生且相对昂贵的资源。本文提供的信息对于为亚马逊地区制定替代和可再生能源政府政策非常重要，此外还介绍了对该地区可用的主要生物质的科学研究，包括能源转换的热化学特性。
