Issues in Energy Vulnerability Assessment: Looking for a Sustainable Choice of Natural Resource for Power Generation

摘要: The objective of thiswork is to analyze, through environmental vulnerability (EV), disturbances in the environment caused by anthropic activities for production energy resources, focusing on power generation sector. Methodologically, hydrocarbons (oil and gas) solar are considered a qualitative quantitative analysis impacts, including research inside Environmental Impact Studies procedures like EIA/RIMA (institutional Reports Brazil). This study focuses operation demobilization offshore drilling activity, installation Santos Basin pre-salt oil gas disposal activity Stages 1, 2 3. criteria addressed EIA/RIMAs used, thosethat correlate with EV electricity. Impacts long-term, permanent, partially reversible or irreversible filtered, totaling 53 impacts (31 effective/21 potential). We concluded that methodologies EIAs vary between stages. At times, variation so drastic same impact can have completely different rating from one stage another, despite referring area. condition makes it impossible define single vulnerabilityindex venture. For final analysis, we propose cleaner distributed photovoltaic systems as more adequate alternative Sao Paulo’s supply terms its EV.
