Recorte da utilização mundial de usinas termelétricas flutuantes a gás

Abstract

The present work aims to discuss floating gas thermoelectric plants for the production of electrical energy. Over the years, natural gas began to gain popularity and space in the energy matrix. Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that has diverse and abundant natural sources of renewable energy. However, even with an enormous potential for clean energy generation, the installation of a floating gas-fired thermoelectric plant was authorized in Sepetiba Bay, located in the Costa Verde region, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The company KARPOWERSHIP is authorized to act as an independent energy producer and also to establish and operate 04 (four) thermoelectric plants in the country. To do so, it will be necessary to adapt to the standards and respect the rules for its full functioning. Consequently, the general objective of this work is to analyze the market for floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) power plants in the world and the thermoelectric plant that is being installed in Sepetiba Bay, west zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. In order to understand this undertaking, the research methodology adopted was a study of bibliographical references about the energy matrix in Brazil and floating LNG thermoelectric plants around the world. Therefore, an analysis was carried out to determine which countries use this type of technology and the comparison with other types of electrical energy generation.
