Abstract
The aim of this article is to propose a model based on Balanced Scorecard (BSC) to run the strategy of the sugar-energy companies regarding to the business unit for bioelectricity cogeneration. The model adds three new perspectives to the BSC namely environmental perspective, human resources perspective and supplier perspective. Bioelectricity cogeneration will become indispensable for the modernization of the sugarcane mills that already accounts for 2% of the Brazilian GDP in the economic sector of the sugar-energy industry. The low cost of bioelectricity cogeneration due to the use of residual sugarcane biomass as raw material such as bagasse, straws and tips, which are wastes of the production of sugar and ethanol process is a strong incentive for the sugar-energy industry. The opportunity to supply bioelectricity to the Brazilian Interconnected Electricity System arose when an unusual dry period occurred in the Southwest/Midwest regions. The achieved results on a model running show that it can be a useful management tool. The scientific value of this study is to present a model that demonstrates the possibility of adaptation of the BSC with emphasis on meeting specific industry demand. In addition, an environmental problem solved using bagasse, straws, tips from sugarcane to produce electricity.
