Analysis of Energy Consumption from Fossil Source of Soybean Transport Modes in Brazil

Abstract:

The transport sector is considered one of the sectors that cause serious environmental impacts and, being strongly associated to development, it is important to choose more energy efficient transport modes. With the growing environmental problems sustainability becomes essential in the transport sector by reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the atmosphere. Accordingly, through the case study of soybean transport from Sorriso, state of Mato Grosso, to Santos, state of Sao Paulo, this study aims to define which mode of transport, unimodal or multimodal, may provide greater efficiency in the use of energy from fossil source, in both direct and indirect ways. The method evaluates the energy consumption in the life cycle of transport vehicles, ie, consumption and supply of fuel and energy embedded in fabrication. The analysis verifies the efficiency of the multimodal transport.
