ANÁLISE DO TRANSPORTE INTERMODAL DA SOJA DESTINADA À EXPORTAÇÃO, CONSIDERANDO OS CUSTOS DE EMISSÕES DE CO2 NO BRASIL

Abstract

The traditional logistics seeks reduction of costs with greater efficiency in the service, attending to the dimensions of performance speed, flexibility and cost. When the sustainability theme is inserted into logistics management, there are emerging analyzes of atmospheric CO2 emissions and their cost impacts on transportation modes. In this context, the main objective of this research was to analyze the efficiency of the modal arrangements of the outflow of soybeans produced in Brazil for export, and CO2 emissions for an intermodal transport network of soybeans exported in Brazil. The emission estimate was calculated based on the adapted formula of ANTT (2014a; 2014b) reports, which followed methodologies presented by the IPCC and MCTI (2010). The method consists in the estimation of emissions by consumption factor of diesel oil, considering the tonnage transported in TKU. The results obtained show the best export routes for soybeans, considering freight costs and CO2 emissions. The Brazilian logistics infrastructure needs investments in the construction of new terminals, in order to favor the use of intermodality. The road mode still has lower logistics costs and holds greater supply and availability in the market, in contrast, intermodality has the best performance in reducing emissions.
