ABSTRACT The world is currently aware of the efforts to find renewable energy sources as a substitute for fossil fuels. Seeking less pollution and environmental degradation, Embrapa Amazônia Ocidental with the financial support of CNPq and Sudam, developed research studies along these lines using palm oil as fuel in Cyclo Diesel engines. A set-generator MWM D225-4 was installed and monitored in the Boa União Community (in the township of Presidente Figueiredo, State of Amazonas, Brazil). Also studied were a multi-fuel 4RTA-G AMS set-generator, which extracted the oil provided by Embrapa, and a van normally run on diesel fuel. Results showed that the MWM obtained the best results. There was no need to change or modify any of its mechanical components. The van engine, due to the complexity of being mobile, was tested with a finer palm oil (oleina). Under test conditions, this oil was more cost effective than diesel fuel. The palm oil has a larger productivity (5 thousand kg/ha/year) and is highly adapted to areas with a high pluviometric index, brightness and elevated temperatures and as such, ideal for the Amazon. This species is productive throughout the year, provides year round work for local people and contributes to sustainable development in the area where it is cultivated.
