PROPOSTA DE INTRODUÇÃO DO MODELO DE PRODUÇÃO DE CARVÃO VEGETAL UTILIZADO NO BRASIL EM MOÇAMBIQUE COMO FORMA DE REDUÇÃO DE IMPACTOS AMBIENTAIS DERIVADOS DO PROCESSO

Abstract

The importance of charcoal is unquestionable in the lives of billions of people all over the world, but on the other hand, efforts are being made in the search for energy sources capable of meeting the needs with reduced environmental impact, with greater economic return and greater appreciation of the work of those involved. This study proposes, between the two realities, the Brazilian model and the Mozambican model, to recommend the introduction of the efficient environmental and economic model of charcoal production in Mozambique. To this end, the production processes of the two countries are compared, based on models used both in Brazil as Mozambique, using a simple qualitative methodology, where an analysis of variables that demonstrate strong aspects, opportunities, weaknesses and threats is made (FOFA matrix). We also used the observation technique that made it possible, together with the fluffy analysis, to obtain the results of the research, where it was found that introducing the Brazilian model of charcoal production in Mozambique could reduce the environmental risk of uncontrolled burning, deforestation, erosion of the soils, among others, in addition to reducing waste and obtaining greater economic gains. It ended up concluding that the migration to the coal production model used in Brazil in Mozambique will be more viable from an environmental, social and economic point of view.
