Popis: The objective of the work was to quantify the plant biomass and analyze its potential for generating Reduced Emission Certificates - CERs in the cupuassu tree crop. For the purpose of economic analysis, all costs and revenues involved in the activity and the estimated cash flow for a 25-year plan were raised. Based on the cash flow, the Net Present Value, the Internal Rate of Return, and the sensitivity analysis were calculated, varying the levels of the main economic variables. The carbon stock in the cupuassu plantation at 25 years old was 14,901 t C ha-1. The estimated carbon stock for planting cupuassu at 25 years was 54.68 t C ha-1, corresponding to 393 CERs/ha. It is concluded that cupuassu is a crop capable of storing carbon in its biomass for an extended period of time.
