are for the production of electric energy (20.5%). These energy parcels are destined, in the different industrial segments, to the processes of melting, induction heating, motive power, refrigeration, drying and lighting. In terms of active policy in the energy integration of production processes and in the promotion of cogeneration, Brazil still has a long way to go. Studies show that the presence of cogeneration in the Brazilian energy market is around only 0.5%. In medium and small companies, heavily consuming energy resources, they do not have the necessary integration of their production processes, either in the search for the reuse of heat or in the joint production of heat, power and electricity. Based on specific and regional auditing actions of production processes and provision of energy services, it can be estimated that, through the adoption of an integrated and permanent energy management program in the different industrial sectors, 40 to 60% would be guaranteed of thermal energy recovery in the different production processes and end-use energy services, as well as at least 20% of co-production of heat, power and electrical energy. Within the electric sector, a series of incentives have already been offered to cogeneration, specifically to the one that uses biomass. However, it is still essential to carry out in-depth studies for market prospecting at the national level, in order to obtain the real dimension of the Brazilian potential, both in the reuse of heat and in cogeneration. This would make it possible to have a new scenario for the Brazilian market, where, in addition to contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it would also be promoting the productivity and business competitiveness of industries.
