Viabilidade financeira e comercial da produção de biodiesel produzido a partir do óleo proveniente dos resíduos dos frangos de corte de abatedouros de uma cooperativa da região de Cascavel no Paraná

Abstract

Technological advance requires an increase in the consumption of fuels, mainly of fossil fuels, that besides being exhaustible, are highly harmful to the environment, therefore, there is inherent need of the production of alternative fuels. The present study aims to verify the financial and commercial feasibility of producing biodiesel using the residual chicken oil from slaughterhouses located in the region of Cascavel in the state of Paraná, and to identify the consumer's perception regarding this energy source. A literature review was carried out regarding the themes addressed in the study. To verify financial viability, an adaptation of the model of Bertolini et al. (2012), which was applied to a cooperative located in the region of the city of rattlesnake and for the analysis of consumer perception regarding biodiesel production an adaptation of the VAPERCOM model of Brandalise (2008) was used, applied to the potential users of the Biodiesel, ie owners of diesel-powered vehicles, trucks and vans. The results indicate that there is no financial and commercial feasibility for the cooperative under study to produce biodiesel, because if it uses the fat and oil of viscera to produce biodiesel, it must acquire soybean oil for the production of animal feed, currently Soybean oil is R $ 1.33 more expensive than the value to produce biodiesel. Regarding the analysis of the environmental perception of the potential consumers of biodiesel, it was verified that they have a low concern regarding the characteristics of the life cycle of the fuel they consume.
