The grape cultivation in Brazil has intensified each year, this product is generally intended for the production of beverages as juices and wines. But some problems are reported associated with the production of these beverages, major one being the residue obtained in the process of crushing grapes which is characterized with a high pollution potential, and about 40% of the grapes processed is processed in this residue. With the aim of making this production, have sought to destinations waste generated. It is generally intended for use in animal feeds and fertilizers but several studies have investigated the application of oil contained in the residue to produce biodiesel. This form of the residue reuse in the process tends to improve the production of wine, besides improving new technologies, strengthening national industry and agriculture. Thus, the aim of this paper is to describe briefly the problems associated with waste generation grape and the use of oil in this for allocation for biodiesel production.
