Uso racional: a fonte energética oculta Rational use: the concealed energy source

Abstract

Os sistemas energéticos modernos são complexas redes de exploração de recursos naturais, com sucessivos processos de conversão e transporte de energia e um elevado nível de perdas, cuja redução constitui uma fonte virtual de energia, que deve ser mais bem explorada, com vantagens econômicas e ambientais. Nestas notas se revisam os conceitos de perdas em sistemas energéticos e a evolução do marco institucional brasileiro para fomento do uso racional de energia, apresentando-se as perspectivas para a redução dos desperdícios de energia em alguns usos finais: refrigeração doméstica, aquecimento de água residencial, veículos leves e cogeração. São apresentados os potenciais totais estimados de economia de energia elétrica e combustíveis, desagregados por setores de consumo.Modern energy systems are complex exploitation networks of natural resources with successive conversion and energy transportation processes and a high level of losses. These losses constitute a virtual energy source that must be better exploited in order to provide economic and environmental advantages. Here, the concept of energy system loss and the evolution of Brazilian institutional framework to enhance the promotion of a rational use of energy will be presented, as well as the perspectives to reduce energy waste in end uses: domestic refrigeration, residential water heat, light vehicles and cogeneration. The estimated total capacities of electric energy and fuel economy (by consuming sectors) are also presented.
