Potencial de geração de energia elétrica com biogás da suinocultura e compensação em prédios públicos – estudo de caso de Pinheiro Preto – SC

Abstract

The intensification of swine production systems, in order to meet population expansion, results in the increase and concentration of manure production. The population increase also has demanding larger fractions of energy and remains to the public sector supply them. The higher energy consumption in public buildings and the society claiming for sustainable and efficient management of these costs has emerging as a counterpoint. Anaerobic digestion presents itself as an suitable technology to reduce the manure pollutant potential and biogas energy generation as a way to mitigate the environmental effects of swine, and also, for public administration means a sustainable local development strategy. The distributed generation and compensation system of electric energy in both rural establishments and public buildings, provides an economy of (reais – R$) 94,21% and 83,4% respectively. This economy has been possible to the establishments to make new investments and for public administration to achieve a more efficient management of energy and public resources.
