Uma perspectiva da cogeração na geração de energia elétrica a partir da biomassa do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar.

Abstract

The application of the concept of cogeneration is an efficient solution to the problem of reduced energy efficiency of thermal power generation. The cogeneration is, then, an affordable choice from projects of power electric generation from biomass surgane bagass. The requirements to reduce emission of polluants and decreasing the dependency of the oil-exporting countries raised the importance to have a diversified energy matrix with strong inclusion of renewable alternative sources. The cane sugar, introduced in Brazil since 1532, moves the national economy by sugarcane production for two centuries. Because it takes part in our agriculture, and also because of new technologies in recent decades, the sugarcane industry is innovating itself. The aim of this work is to make a systemic approach of technological and viable aspects of the implementation of cogeneration project as an intrinsic part of the national electricity system, in its several sides.
