| Sumario: | The main objective of this article is to analyze the existing contractual models for the generation of bioenergy through swine waste in the Western Region of Paraná. As a theoretical framework, the microanalytical level of the New Institutional Economics (NEI) was used, covering governance structure and the role of contracts in coordinating this structure. The empirical data, analyzed in a qualitative way, were obtained through the analysis of contracts and interviews carried out with the managers of the plants and swine producers. The main findings point to adjustments in business models, moving from informal agreements to governance structures organized from formal contracts, aiming at mitigating uncertainty in the relationships between agents. They also point out that the sector has high development potential, but that it still lacks the structuring of an institutional environment, capable of mitigating the existing legal insecurities and uncertainties. |
