Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Alternativas para o abastecimento energético dos fornos de indústrias cerâmicas localizadas no município de São Miguel do Guamá-PA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08-14) ROCHA, Alexander Lobo; NEVES, Renato Martins das; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6538317425557058Economic and environmental differentials incorporated biomass energy has driven the spread of supply and use of biofuels in developed and developing countries. In the state of Pará (Brazil), the growing demand for biomass like acai lump and legalized firewood, specially related to the performance of the ceramic industry in the São Miguel do Guamá county and other industrial segments, pints to a possible shortage of these energy resources. Thus, initiative is needed to search for alternative fuels that are capable of not only ensuring the energy supply necessary for the current and future ceramic production of these industries, but also to ensure the continuation and conservation of renewable natural resources in the region. This work consolidates research among member companies of the Association of Ceramics Industries of São Miguel do Guamá, which are located in this municipality, using as a sample the ceramic companies seeking alternative bioenergy, along with the research among the agro-industries and farmers present in other municipalities of the state of Pará. The objective is to identify alternatives for energy supply in ceramic kilns, considering the use of renewable energy sources and opportunities for reducing the cost of its acquisition through the practice of return shipping. It was used as a research strategy case study in five moments of semi-structured interviews guided by questionnaires. The results obtained indicate that there is opportunity to supply biomass matched with the needs of the surveyed ceramic companies, with the potential to meet repressed energy demands and allowing the continuation of strategic business in Pará, as at this time, the growing civil construction industry.
