Different species of Eucalyptus are fit for many different uses, and their wood is widely applied for power generation from its direct burning, or by their conversion into charcoal. In addition to wood properties, information on the estimated mass, fixed carbon and energy available for the planting area is important for predicting the quantity of products to be generated by genetic material in a given site. Considering the importance that the raw material has in energy production, this study aimed at estimating the mass, energy and carbon in the wood of three clones of Eucalyptus, in order to direct the clones that are best suited to the sites evaluated. It was observed that there is a strong relationship between average annual increment and dry mass of wood, carbon mass and energy. It was not found a relationship between the location and density and significant differences between the calorific value for different materials in this study. Clones 1 and 3 have better development in Turmalina and in Itacambira, the best results were obtained for clone 2.
