Objectives:

Environmental:

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2).

• Optimize the water consumption e energy.

• Reduce waste, noise and odors of the industrial operation.

• Implement advanced environmental monitoring, including electronic noses, noise measurement stations, and inhalable particle measurement stations.

Economic and operational:

• Increase production capacity from the industrial unit in 20%.

• Substitute fossil fuels replaced by renewable sources, such as biomass (black liquor).

• Promote clean energy generated internally and reduce operating costs.

Results achieved:

• Decommissioning of the coal-fired boiler and replacement by biomass recovery boiler.

• Reduction of 53.4% of tCO₂e emissions Scopes 1 and 2 between 2021 and 2024.

• Appreciation of 98% of the waste generated.

• Reduction in water consumption of 2 m³/ADt.

• Reduction of the level of noise level between 2 and 5 dB and a reduction in odors perceived by the community.

• New electrostatic precipitator with 99% efficiency in the retention of inhalable particles.

• 20% increase in production capacity from the Guaíba Industrial Unit.

Expected results:

• Maintenance sustainable operations with clean energy and water efficiency.

• Consolidation of reduction of emissions and environmental impacts, maintaining high standards of environmental management.

• Possible replication of these practices in other industrial units of the group.

Term: of 2021 to 2023, with ongoing environmental and operational impacts from the start of operations.
