The objective of this review was to evaluate the potential of forest biomass production for energy in agroforestry systems (AFS). The use of energy from wood and forest residues has been stimulated in Brazil and in the world in recent decades, due to environmental questions and its technical and economic viability. However, its development in AFS requires further studies. It was analyzed the main technical and economic characteristics of wood production for energy generation in AFS, highlighting tree species, site quality, socioeconomic and agroforestry practices. All maim assessed studies were from Europe, United States, Asia and Africa, while in Brazil there are still lack of those studies, although the country is major consumer of forest biomass for energy. All studies pointed out that there is technical and economic potential for wood fuel production in agroforestry systems, for farmers supply, and for commercialization of quality wood for energy use. Nevertheless, this relationship depends mainly on: greater wood fuel market structuring; regional socioeconomic characteristics and environmental conditions.Downloads
