O objetivo deste trabalho foi formular um critério de incentivo à energia renovável e eficiência energética para compor as leis de ICMS Ecológico no Brasil. A proposição foi realizada observando-se os potenciais energéticos existentes no país e os métodos de cálculo de distribuição de recursos empregados nas leis de ICMS Ecológico vigentes. Foi formulado um critério energético composto por dez subcritérios: pequenas centrais hidrelétricas; energia solar fotovoltaica; energia eólica; termelétricas à biomassa; etanol combustível; energia solar térmica; cogeração qualificada; certificação de eficiência energética de edifícios; código de obras com diretrizes de eficiência energética; e política municipal de conservação de energia. Entre os potenciais impactos econômicos e socioambientais desta iniciativa pode-se citar: aumento da independência e diversificação da matriz energética nacional; criação de emprego e renda advindos do segmento de geração distribuída; e redução das emissões de gases causadores do efeito estufa provenientes do setor energético brasileiro.
Climate changes, loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, scarcity and pollution of waters are the problems caused and experienced by society. The conservation methods of soil moisture are important for plant growth and groundwater preservation. The aim at this study was to evaluate the impacts of the terraces on soil moisture and to analyze the efficiency of Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) in the soil moisture determination. Soil moisture was determined by gravimetric and GPR methods in the depths of 0 to 10, 10 to 30, 30 to 60 and, 60 to 100 cm. The water storage in depth was larger and uniform in terraced than in the non-terraced pasture. However, the non terraced pasture has less soil compaction. Thus, the terrace does not guarantee adequate pasture management and other alternatives for sustainable management of cattle and reduction of soil compaction is necessary. The GPR method may be used to estimate the soil water content in volumetric basis in the field of a non-invasive manner. However, there need to study and determine the accuracy in GPR measurement in different methods and soil types.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
