Abstract:

The environmental problems at world-wide level must to the indiscriminate fossil fuel consumption, looking for to mitigate this problematic one has impelled the use of alternative energies being the biocombustibles an option, nevertheless, is lost impulse because the areas to cultivate biocombustibles would compete with the farming surfaces.

Identified the zones where the conditions for the crop appear of eleanisse guinesis in Ecuador it will analyze his competition with other crops. It will allow to value the possible major cultivable surface of the country, of economic, fast way where it is possible to be represented several scenes that will facilitate one better planning of the resource.
