[en] A CRITICAL APPROACH TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF MACAE POWER PLANT. / [pt] UMA ABORDAGEM CRÍTICA SOBRE A IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DO SISTEMA DE GESTÃO AMBIENTAL DA UTE MACAÉ

[pt] O presente trabalho apresenta a importância da Termoeletricidade a gás
para o País, abordando a caracterização do setor elétrico brasileiro, as
especificidades e seus impactos. Demonstra a importância da gestão ambiental e a
conceitua em diversos cenários. São abordados os aspectos legais e institucionais,
inerentes ao licenciamento específico para unidades geradoras. É feita a
caracterização da UTE Macaé, objeto de estudo da gestão ambiental. A análise
crítica da implementação do sistema de gestão ambiental identificou diversas
lições aprendidas nos diversos períodos do empreendimento. / [en] The present work aims the importance of gas thermoelectricity for the
country, considering the Brazilian electrical sector characterization, specificities
and their impacts.
Demonstrate the importance of environmental management and concepts it
in several scenarios. Issues regarding legal and institutional aspects, mainly
permitting process for generator units.
It was presented a characterization of Macae Power Plant, the object of our
environmental management studies. A critical approach to the implementation of
the environmental management system of UTE Macaé has identified several
lessons learned during different project periods.
We have the historical evolution of thermoelectrical plants in Brazil in
order to understand the type of energy matrix available. In 2001, the country faced
problems due lack of rain when the whole Country was supplied by Hydro plants
needed to save energy. The lack of energy tied the Country development.
Immediately the Brazilian government take action with the using a gas from
Bolivia-Brazil pipeline putting emergencial gas power plants as a fast track
project In order to implement an alternative energy source based on natural gas, it
was considered the lesser impact alternative source and more reliable for the
power plants in case of lack of rain that supplies the Hydro plants.
The characterization of Brazilian energy sector, verifying the main
characteristics and specificities of thermoelectrical plants and their environmental
impacts, are the most critical paths in order to implement a projects. To develop
any project or specific projects such power plants it is necessary to understand the culture and specific environmental and social issues in order to avoid any impact
to the project.
Other specifities regarding hydro plants and gas power plants such
environmental and social impacts generate by each specific type of generation was
brought up.
During the development of this work is highlighted the environmental
management concept analyzing the national and international guidelines regarding
environmental management, some of them are already well accepted however all
the organizations should be aware that not just a good recognized management
system will guarantee an excellent results of environmental , health , safety and
production. Knowledge and commitment is required from everyone in the
organization.
It is impossible not mention and discuss in a work like that, the legal and
institutional aspects related with natural gas power plant emphasizing
environmental licensing problems. The Brazilian legislation is pretty new and all
the time has some changes that usually can impact the project. During the our case
of study UTE Macaé, we were learning together with the environmental agency
because this was one of the first gas power plants built in Brazil.
The UTE Macaé – Power Plant our case of study is well characterized with
all project details. In the process side there is a good description, energy
generation process, basic sources “water and natural gas “.
Operational and project characteristics is aligned with all information
needed to understand the project are described in this work.
Considering our case of study UTE Macaé we went through all the
experience and each specific area including: Environmental management system,
mitigation programs and a really huge monitoring program that covers whatever
deviation that could appear due any operation.
With all the experiences before us established a lessons learned to be
shared with you in order to avoid future environmental, social or economic
impacts in other Gas power plant implementation worldwide. It is good to be clear that two separated phases area explained and both are very important, construction
and operation.
The Environmental Management analysis of Macaé Power Plant was
identified in the previous paragraphs and concluded with the lessons learned
giving a really good supporting a critical approach of implementation of the
environmental management system of UTE Macaé.
Create a good interaction between competent project manager and
integrated project team. Define on time with good anticipation HSE resources
necessaries as following: people, budget and time.
