Fuel consumption has been very high over the last few decades, as a result of a serious environmental problem: the greenhouse effect. Several studies are being conducted in order to find solutions. Another great adversity is the large amount of waste generated in agriculture, whose final disposal is largely neither sustainable nor profitable. Corn is among the most produced cereals on the planet, generating an even greater amount of waste. Every ton of corn grain collected is produced about 1.4 tons of waste. In Brazil alone there are more than 100 million tons per year. In this work, the residues of the corn production chain, these being leaf, straw and stem, were used after three years in stock to perform the characterization in natura. After the period gasification was carried out, this process of conversion of biomass into gas with combustible properties, syngas, using different parameters of temperature (700 °C, 800 °C, 900 °C) and residence time (three, four and five minutes). In the combustible gases produced, their individual characteristics were analyzed in addition to their energy effectiveness. The lower calorific value of the stem, leaf and straw are 16.39 MJ.kg-1, 16.01 MJ.kg-1 and 16.40 MJ.kg-1. The highest values of lower calorific value of gases obtained in the analysis of stem, leaf and straw were respectively 4.99 MJ. Nm-3, 6.62 MJ.Nm-3, 4.97 MJ.Nm-3.
