With adoption of the internal rate of return (IRR) as a method of economic analysis, investigates the economic feasibility of production of 200 ha of Mato Grosso’s most cultivated eucalyptus species (urograndis, citriodora, camaldulensis), with three purposes: carbon sequestration, cultivation of wood for energy generation and joint production (carbon sequestration and timber cultivation) in municipalities located in the savanna of the State. Projects exclusively for carbon sequestration proved uneconomical, unlike the intended strictly for cultivation of wood for energy generation, in addition to project with join production in certain municipalities, which showed economic viability.
