The territorial occupation from the Amazon region is characterized by isolated communities, which makes the conventional electric distribution economically and technically impracticable.To solve the electric problem of these communities, it is necessary for them to produce their own fuel in order to generate electric energy and promote the development. These are the premises that have guided the elaboration of the project PROVEGAM - Implantation and test of a unit demonstration of vegetable oil energetic utilization that has a conventional diesel engine installation and performance testing objective, adapted to operate with palm oil "in natura" at Vila Soledade community, Moju, Para, an isolated community which has approximately 700 inhabitants, 120 houses and it is located at one hundred and fourty kilometers from downtown by car and 30 minutes more by boat.The PROVEGAM project installed a diesel generator adapted with a conversion kit to operate with "in natura" palm oil. Actually the engine has more than 3500 hours of tests.During the diesel generator installation, disel oil emissions and performance were compared with the palm oil.Analysing the results, this electric model of generating energy is already recommended to be implemented in other Amazon region communities.
