Zusammenfassung:The evaluation of lignocellulosic wastes for bioenergy production demands to consider several characteristics and properties that may be correlated. This fact demands the use of various multivariate analysis techniques that allow the evaluation of relevant energetic factors. This work aimed to apply cluster analysis and principal components analyses for the selection and evaluation of lignocellulosic wastes for bioenergy production. 8 types of residual biomass were used, whose the elemental components (C, H, O, N, S) content, lignin, total extractives and ashes contents, basic density and higher and lower heating values were determined. Both multivariate techniques applied for evaluation and selection of lignocellulosic wastes were efficient and similarities were observed between the biomass groups formed by them. Through the interpretation of the first principal component obtained, it was possible to create a global development index for the evaluation of the viability of energetic uses of biomass. The interpretation of the second principal component allowed a contrast between nitrogen and sulfur contents with oxygen content. Keywords: multivariate analysis; biomass; energy. Na avaliacao de residuos lignocelulosicos para a producao de bioenergia e necessario considerar as varias caracteristicas e propriedades que podem ser correlacionadas. Este fato demanda o emprego de diversas tecnicas de analise multivariada que possibilitem a avaliacao dos fatores energeticos mais relevantes. 0 objetivo deste trabalho foi aplicar as analises de agrupamento e componentes principais na selecao e avaliacao de residuos lignocelulosicos visando a producao de bioenergia. Foram utilizados 8 tipos de biomassa residual, dos quais foram determinados os teores dos componentes elementares (C, H, O, N, S), os teores de lignina, extrativos totais e cinzas, a densidade basica e o poder calorifico superior e inferior. As duas tecnicas multivariadas empregadas para a avaliacao e selecao de residuos lignocelulosicos para a producao de energia foram eficientes, sendo observadas similaridades entre os grupos de biomassa formados por elas. Pela interpretacao da primeira componente principal obtida, criou-se um indice de desempenho global para avaliar a viabilidade do aproveitamento energetico da biomassa. A interpretacao da segunda componente principal permitiu um contraste entre os teores de nitrogenio e enxofre e o teor de oxigenio. Palavras-chave: analise multivariada; biomassa; energi
