Estratégia para a redução da emissão de dióxido de carbono gerada pelo consumo de energia em segmentos industriais brasileiros

Abstract

Global climate changes have been of great concern to all governments and nations for many years. Many scientists point to the increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) as responsible for these climate changes. Faced with this problem, this paper proposes to present strategies for the mitigation of impacts related to the pollution of the Brazilian industry. The strategies presented here they are focused on proposals to replace fossil fuels, carbon intensive, for renewable sources. For this, we sought an analysis of the energy consumption structure and the issue of balance of CO2 every Brazilian industrial sector, identifying the industries with the greatest potential to reduce emissions and thus identify effective mitigation measures. The research method also uses the top-down methodology of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) to measure the current CO2 emissions and predict future emissions of this pollutant by replacing energy. In conclusion, he emphasized the importance of working with mitigation measures in the industrial sector of Pig iron and steel, due to the high consumption of fossil fuels, non-renewable energy sources that contribute to high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
