Carbon

We use cutting-edge technology to increase the energy efficiency of our equipment, resulting in less fuel consumption. In wood transport, we have projects to reduce the average supply radius (the distance between our farms and our plants), optimize routes, increase cargo space and expand the use of six-trailer trucks (also known as “hexatrains”).

We have been reducing our emissions thanks to modernization projects and the increased efficiency of our kilns, boilers and turbogenerators. We have been gradually reducing the use of fuels that produce high CO₂ emissions, such as fuel oil and natural gas, replacing them with fuels that produce lower emissions, such as biomass and black liquor. We also implement new technologies, such as biomass gasification, which will be used at our future plant in Ribas do Rio Pardo, currently under construction.

In addition to efficiency measures, such as synergies in the transportation of products from different business sites, use of electric vehicles in the São Paulo area, increased use of rail transportation and optimization of routes worldwide, we also engage suppliers and carry out several studies to reduce emissions. In partnerships with the maritime industry, for example, we have been studying opportunities for using green ammonia to fuel transatlantic vessels.

We also engage suppliers and carry out several studies to reduce emissions.

Our products, made from renewable raw materials, also help make the global economy less dependent on carbon, while also creating alternatives to replace petroleum-based items, such as plastic, fossil fabrics and fuel.
