Viabilidade técnica e econômica da utilização da energia elétrica gerada através de resíduos sólidos urbanos aplicada ao transporte coletivo - estudo de caso na cidade de Curitiba

Abstract

Due to the significant growth on urban centers, problems such as the solid waste production and final destination, as well as the growth on the emission of greenhouse effect gases, especially by the transportation sector, have brought serious damage to the environment and population, going in the opposite direction to the sustainable development ideals. Aiming to present a shared solution to these problems, a study on the city of Curitiba was held in order to use the energy potential of electric power generation in the Caximba landfill in the supply of electric buses, making it possible to raise some levels of technical and economic feasibility. In this way, it was possible to conclude that from the technical point of view the study is perfectly feasible, while for the scenarios II and I raised in the economic feasibility study, only scenario II is feasible.
