Abstract
Much of the energy currently consumed in the industrial sector comes from non-renewable sources, such as oil, natural gas and coal. These, when used, contribute to the formation of greenhouse gases (GHG), which turns out to pollute the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. The use of solar energy as an alternative source for power generation has been increasingly used, and it is even being applied as a way to reduce operating costs within companies. The geographical location, relief, and climate of the State of Bahia are favorable for the generation of solar energy. In the first months of 2022, Bahia was responsible for approximately 1/3 of the country's solar energy generation. Company "K", which is located in the port of Aratu/BA, operates in the segment of mining, processing, and beneficiation of materials derived from magnesium oxide. The company performs logistics operations of cargo reception, storage and transport of the raw material for export. In this context, this work is based on the concepts of Cleaner Production (CP), using descriptive and exploratory research, applied to the sector of handling, transport, reception, storage and shipping of the product at the port in Aratu. Data collection was carried out, followed by subsequent analysis of the indicators that created the basis for the goals intended for the CP implementation proposal, aiming at environmental management, an opportunity for reduction in electric power consumption, related to the change of technology, as the objective of this work. From the application of the concepts of CP in the area of loading and storage at the Port of Aratu, it is expected that there will be an improvement in processes, and it is foreseen not only the reduction of consumption in electricity but also provide operational and economic gains, in addition to improving the image in front of the market in relation to environmental management and quality.
