Title in Portuguese
A inserção do sebo bovino na indústria brasileira do biodiesel: análise sob a ótica da economia dos custos de transação e da teoria dos custos de mensuração
Keywords in Portuguese
Biodiesel
Custos de mensuração
Custos de transação
Integração vertical
Sebo
Abstract in Portuguese
A indústria de biodiesel atingiu importante desenvolvimento no Brasil a partir de 2005, através da implementação do Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso de Biodiesel - PNPB. As propostas do programa incluem o estímulo ao uso de oleaginosas a partir da agricultura familiar e a negociação do biodiesel por leilões. As matérias-primas mais participativas na indústria de biodiesel no Brasil são a soja (80-85%) e o sebo bovino (9-15%). Ao demonstrar as características do sebo, a pesquisa evidencia problemas na coordenação entre frigoríficos/graxarias e usinas de biodiesel, indicando um mercado de sebo pouco organizado. Assim, o objetivo desta dissertação é verificar se a integração vertical é o regime de governança mais apropriado para a indústria. Ao mesmo tempo, a pesquisa observa as variáveis que poderiam implicar maior eficiência à cadeia do biodiesel e procura responder a cinco hipóteses relacionadas com a questão da pesquisa, através de um estudo multi-caso com oito usinas de biodiesel no Brasil que utilizam sebo bovino para a produção de biodiesel. A revisão teórica utilizou a Economia Custos de Transação e a Teoria dos Custos de Mensuração, e através da percepção dos produtores de biodiesel entrevistados, concluiu-se que a integração vertical pode ser considerada a estrutura de governança mais apropriada para a produção de biodiesel a partir de sebo bovino. Foram encontrados indícios de que o sebo é um ativo específico, com atributos de difícil mensuração, o que atesta tanto a necessidade de criação de normas técnicas como também a extensão do selo social para o sebo bovino para melhorar a coordenação entre os agentes das transações através de políticas públicas, o que poderia estimular a diversidade de matérias-primas para biodiesel.

Abstract in English
The biodiesel industry has achieved significant development in Brazil since 2005, through the implementation of the National Program for Biodiesel Production and Use - PNPB. The proposed program includes the encouragement of oilseeds use from family farming and biodiesel trade through auctions. The most important raw materials for biodiesel production in Brazil are soybeans (80-85%) and beef tallow (9-15%). Describing tallow characteristics, the research evinces coordinating problems between slaughterhouses/rendering plants and biodiesel plants, indicating a poorly organized tallow market. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze if vertical integration is the most appropriate governance structure for the industry. At the same time, the research looks for variables that could lead to higher efficiency in the biodiesel chain and answer five hypotheses related to the research question, through a multi-case study with eight biodiesel plants in Brazil that use beef tallow to produce biodiesel. The theoretical review used Transaction Cost Economics and the Measurement Costs Theory, and through the opinion of the interviewed biodiesel producers, it is concluded that vertical integration can be considered the most appropriate governance structure for biodiesel production from beef tallow. There were found evidences that tallow is a specific asset, whose attributes are difficult to measure, in which requires technical standards as well as the extension of the Social Label Program for beef tallow to improve coordination between transactions agents through public policies, which could stimulate raw materials diversity for biodiesel.
