Nowadays Brazil's energy matrix is mainly composed of renewable sources. Although the matrix is diversified, it basically depends on hydropower plants which are highly dependent on the capacity of the water reservoirs. In current climate change scenarios, reservoirs are affected by constant drought, which reduces the capacity to generate electricity. One way to meet the demand for energy is to use alternative sources such as photovoltaic and wind power. In this sense, the use of wind as an alternative source is increasingly growing and gaining space in the national and world scenario, mainly by the use of wind turbines that allow the transformation of wind power into electric power. These equipment are widely used in wind farms installed in extensive geographic areas with relatively high wind speeds. In addition, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (TEEV) have gained space in the transformation of energy basically by the ability to obtain electrical energy in residential, commercial and urban areas with lower wind speeds and wind speeds, so TEEVs can be easily implemented in several environments, ranging from an urban building to an open field. In this context, this project develops and analyzes the feasibility of using a vertical-axis wind turbine, manufactured using bamboo, in order to obtain a final product that provides satisfactory results, using a natural and sustainable raw material, with a long lifespan, and more simplified forming process, without the need for robust equipment. The results show that bamboo has great potential to be considered as an alternative material for manufacturing blades of TEEVs
