Análise de viabilidade técnico-financeira da aplicação de solução de eletromobilidade em comunidades ribeirinhas do Amazonas

Abstract

Electromobility, characterized by the use of vehicles powered by electric energy, emerges as a sustainable alternative to meet the transportation needs of riverside communities in the Amazon. This study conducts a detailed technical and financial analysis of the feasibility of implementing electric propulsion systems in boats used by the Santa Helena community, located on the Rio Negro. The research addresses key challenges, including support infrastructure, initial implementation costs, and acceptance by residents. The methodology is based on a literature review, local data collection, and case study analysis showcasing successful experiences in similar contexts. The results indicate significant operational cost savings and a return on investment in approximately 2.75 years, demonstrating the technical and financial feasibility of the solution. It is concluded that the adoption of electromobility not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels but also promotes environmental and social benefits, representing a sustainable and replicable alternative for the region.
