Abstract
Devido à evolução de carga transportada há um aumento do consumo de diesel do transporte ferroviário, e, portanto, existe uma preocupação em desenvolver mecanismo para amenizar o impacto ambiental causado pelo uso de combustíveis fósseis e redução do custo com o seu uso. O biodiesel vem sendo uma fonte de energia alternativa promissora, o qual propõe não só em reduzir os principais gases causadores do efeito estufa, como também em amenizar o alto custo com o consumo de óleo diesel. Dado a essa sua importante característica, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo de levantar, de forma sucinta, as tendências desse biocombustível no modo ferroviário, tendo como referencia de aplicabilidade e sucesso à Companhia do Vale do Rio Doce.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Due to carried load evolution there is an increase in the consumption of diesel rail transport, and, therefore, there is a concern to develop mechanism to alleviate the environmental impact caused by the use of fossil fuels and reducing the cost with its use. The biodiesel has been a source of energy promising alternative, which proposes not only to reduce the principal gases causing the greenhouse effect, as well as alleviate the high cost to the consumption of diesel oil. Given that its important feature, this paper has as objective of raising, briefly, trends in the way that biofuel rail, taking as reference of applicability and success of the Company Vale do Rio Doce.
