For
several years, the use of oil to move vehicles, generate energy and other
activities necessary for social life, made the world quite dependent on this
input. However, this non-renewable source of energy is becoming increasingly
scarce, while the demand for it grows periodically. Various researches have
been carried out in order to search for alternative sources of fuels, which
preferentially reduce the aggressions to the environment, provided by fossil
fuels. Among these alternative fuels, biodiesel stands out, a fuel obtained
through the process of transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats,
which has become a potential substitute for petroleum diesel. Among the
advantages of using this fuel, the following stand out: being renewable,
reducing the country's dependence on oil, in addition to having lower levels of
greenhouse gas emissions than petrodiesel. Among these gases, CO2 stands out,
which contributes to the warming of the planet and which will be the target of
this study. From the calculations carried out taking into account the
consumption of petrodiesel in Brazil, it is intended to quantify the emissions
from its use by 2025 and in parallel to calculate the emissions avoided with
the use of methyl soy biodiesel in the percentages established by the Brazilian
Government in same period.
