Sustainable Energy Technologies in the Industry Using Integrated Energy Resources Planning

The objective of this work is to apply the methodology of PIR (Integrated Energy-Resources Planning) within the corporate environment. It was chosen a pulp and paper industry because it is one of the largest energy consumers industry. In addition to the traditional resources, it was included a new technology, biomass gasification. Available gasification technologies were described. Within these technologies, there is an application which seeks to replace the current technologies of recovery boiler, black liquor gasification (LARSON, 2003). In this paper the concepts of PIR in the corporate environment will be applied - in a pulp and paper industry on the optics of Energy Resources Supply-Side (RELOs). The result of IRP was that the resources chosen to meet the demand in this industry in study were: Hydroelectricity, Recovery Boiler, Natural Gas Boiler / Oil, Biomass Boiler. It was found that almost all resources are used in the first years of operation and that during the study period, it was not necessary to include new resources for the demand increase was met with the already allocated resources.
