Análise do ciclo de vida da cadeia da banana na região do Lago de Tucuruí
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-07-20) PINHEIRO, Joana Cláudia Zandonadi; MESQUITA, Andre Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662; GOMES, Luiz Moreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7074266533007983
This work deals with the analysis of the banana life cycle in the Lake of Tucuruí region, in the State of Pará. The environmental impacts of this product and its production chain are quantified. It is also evaluated the potential of beneficiation, aiming the incentive of its production in the region. Regional banana producers were visited on their properties, where they mapped the life-cycle flows of this product, from planting to sale. The methodology applied in the research involves the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) tool, which allows the visualization of the environmental and economic contributions of each productive process. This approach makes it possible to focus analysis on reducing environmental impacts and on better processing practices and costs of product processing. The obtained results show that the properties studied have similar emission indices of environmental impacts as others studied in the world and that the stages of the planting until the formation of the fruit have elevated indices of emissions, so that the application of best practices to the processes, so that there is potential reduction of the environmental impacts generated. The LCA methodology used was extremely important to identify the factors that impact the problems of agricultural production. Thus, we can propose improvements in the use of natural resources for the properties studied, seeking conservation and sustainability for future generations.

This research presents the method of Global Assessment of Biomass Stoves - (MAGOF) which innovates by considering a wood stove as a household equipment, thus a product, unlike the known evaluation protocols that prioritize energy aspects. The MAGOF determines the Global Performance index by employing 72 Quality Requirements regarding the product’s life cycle, distributed by affinity amongst 5 Attributes that indicate Performances Of Specific Design, Environmental, Featured, Energy, where it is inserted the Water Boiling Test (WBT), and Economic Specific Performance. These innovative particularities offer relevant information for designers, researchers, manufacturers, users, consumers, investors, regulator or supervisory governmental institutions and other actors. This information favors the decision - making process, technological innovation, improved stoves, health and safety of users, environmental preservation and reflects on the economy. The MAGOF is of global relevance since it is aligned with global efforts in seeking comprehensive solutions to the problems arising from the inadequacy of biomass stoves traditionally available, since about 2.5 billion people use wood or charcoal to cook on all continents, and the World Health Organization (WHO) found out that about 1.5 million people die annually from respiratory diseases caused mainly by smoke emitted by biomass stoves. The survey also brings an application of a MAGOF on a stove produced by the Ecofogão company, and an Amazonian handmade stove. A performance comparison is presented, resulting in consistent values regarding other stoves of the same category.
