Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze the financial results generated by the application of an alternative methodology for receipt of biomass / wood chips in a poultry agribusiness cooperative in western Paraná. This methodology was conceived as a way to promote economic development without the reduction of natural resources and generation of minimal damage to the environment by the combustion process for heating the agribusiness boiler, and its theoretical basis the Brundtland Report (1991) and guidelines basic ISO 14001 were applied exploratory research procedures, case studies, literature and documents, as well as participant observation. The results were analyzed in qualitative and quantitative approach and pointed out that this method decreases steam production costs in the boiler without compromising the industrial production demand and contributes to the agribusiness investigated reach more sustainable performance.
