Electricity Distribution And Related Services – 81306644 - Analysing The Feasibility Of Electrification In Selected Subsectors Of The Brazilian Food And Beverage Industry. Context Brazil Has Today One Of The Electricity Grids With The Largest Share Of Renewable Energy Sources In The World. In 2023, Renewables Accounted For 93.1% Of All Electricity Generated In The Country And The Forecast Is That The Share Of Renewables In The Energy Mix Will Continue To Increase, Especially Wind, Biomass, And Photovoltaic Energy. However, Energy-Related Emissions In Brazil Have Increased Sharply Over The Past 20 Years, Especially In Sectors Such As Industry (+39%). In The Industrial Segment, Renewable Energy Covers Currently 62% Of Energy Demand. According To Data From The Energy Research Company (Epe), Industry Represents Today One Of The Largest Segments Of Energy Consumption In The Brazilian Economy. The Institute Of Energy And Environment (Iema) Attributes About 30% Of Annual Greenhouse Gas (Ghg) Emissions From Fossil Fuel Consumption In Brazil To The Industry Sector (159 Mt Co2-Eq). Direct Electrification With Renewable Energy Makes It Possible To Reduce Emissions In Industry. Many Industrial Processes That Use Thermal Energy, For Example In The Food & Beverage Sector, Rely On Fossil Fuels Such As Lpg Or Fuel Oil To Cover Their Demand. In These Processes There Is Considerable Potential For Direct Electrification And Efficiency Improvements In The Supply Of Heat, Cold, Pressure, And Steam. Objective The Project Seeks To Contribute To Making Industry In Brazil More Climate Neutral And Environmentally Friendly. Methodology In The Wake Of The 2015 Conference In Paris (Cop 21), Brazil Announced That It Will Reduce Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions By 43% By 2030, Compared To 2005. To Achieve This, In Addition To The Increased Use Of Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency Should Be Increased By 10%. Therefore, The Coupling Of The Main Energy-Consuming Sectors, With The Generation Of Renewable Electricity Offers An Immense Potential For Decarbonization In Brazil. An Effort That Is In Line With The Goal Set By The Country To Achieve Climate Neutrality By 2050 And That Can Contribute To Transforming Brazil Into One Of The Greenest And Most Competitive Economies Globally. In This Sense, The Project Sector Coupling And Green Economy Seeks To Work Together With Federal Ministries, Companies, And Research Institutes To Foster Direct Electrification In Industry To Replace Fossil Energy Sources. The Project Will Work Together With 6 Companies To Conduct Studies That Identify, Among Others, The Potential For Direct Electrification Of Processes And Measures For Process Optimization Through Direct Electrification. Based On These Studies, Pilot Projects Will Be Carried Out For The Electrification Of Processes Through Innovative Technologies Available In The Market And Testing Of Digital Tools To Enable Demand-Side Load Management. In Addition, The Project Will Seek The Dissemination Of The Solutions It Identifies. In Addition, The Project Will Seek Articulation With Business Associations And Research Institutions For The Development Of Ele
