In the search for products with great exploration potential, charcoal, originating from renewable sources and used in the generation of bioenergy for different industrial production processes, has some obstacles due to the problems caused during the burning of wood for its production, with the release of gases that contribute to environmental pollution. The correct recovery and use of these gases (from the carbonization of wood) can considerably reduce the environmental impact caused by their release into the atmosphere, qualifying as a low-carbon technological process.

With the condensation and recovery of these volatile gases, Pyroligneous Extract (EP) can be obtained, a yellow to reddish brown liquid, which through several studies has demonstrated promising results as stimulants and regulators of plant growth, with emphasis on initial stages of development, including in the processes of germination and emergence of seedlings, which would enable increased productivity in production field conditions, being observed in this book for corn cultivation, through scientific research and evaluations. .
