Resumo:
Energy efficiency can be considered the greatest potential in the Brazilian industrial sector
in terms of economy. The Government through actions developed by Procel Industry, promotes
the efficient use of electrical energy in the industrial sector, however there are several difficulties
in the implementation of such initiatives. In this report are mentioned important aspects of the
theory that should be considered when implementing energy management in an industry, as well
as a few proposals to improve the state’s development, as to the University contribution. Searching
for new strategies, successful cases and techniques used in countries that are reference in this
subject, such as Japan and the US, can be studied and replicated. An important aspect to consider,
considering the country’s development, is the research and development at the university level, so
that initiatives such as the implementation of a Laboratory for Optimization of Motor Systems and
the creation of an extension course focused on the area of energy efficiency should be encouraged
in a university with UFCG’s size.
