Rio Mamiá Project
ABOUT IT
In 2020, Transportadora Contatto established two strategic objectives focused on sustainability in its operations;
1 – Self-sufficiency in electricity consumption by 2025.
2 – Reduce emissions from the entire operation and offset the difference by 2025.
In 2021, we acquired a 30,000-hectare forest reserve (30,000 football fields) in Coari/AM, for the production of Socio-environmental Credits to offset our emissions. In 2023, we implemented several actions to reduce emissions with measurable results; in 2023 and 2024, we acquired socio-environmental credits and neutralized all emissions from 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, they signed the UN Global Compact Brazil. where they made their SDG commitments public.
Two riverside/indigenous communities are included in the compensation project for the communities of the Rio Mamiá Project of the Contatto Transport Company. Thus, the São José de Uruburetama community and the Plano de Deus community have already installed a photovoltaic energy generation system with batteries, guaranteeing energy 24 hours a day.
Results and Objectives
Objectives:
- To promote the diversification of energy sources for the company's business and operations towards clean energy (generated from low-impact renewable sources);
- Generate new clean energy alternatives for sale to third parties.
In 2023, the photovoltaic plant for the Limeira-SP unit began operating. The plant has 1116 panels of 445Wp and will have a potential energy generation of 60,100 kWh per month. Our average monthly consumption is 53,000 kWh.
In December 2023, due to good solar incidence, it generated 70,000 kWh. With this, it achieved the strategic objective of self-sufficiency, and they are also injecting the surplus of clean energy they generate into the public grid.
They stopped consuming 320,000 kWh of electricity from the public grid in 2023..
Measurement of Partial Results up to 2023.
100% photovoltaic power generation system for consumption at the operational base.
100% of CO2 emissions from the entire operation offset in 2022 and 2023.
2.5% less fuel consumption/emissions per unit of operating efficiency compared to 2022.
5.0% less fuel consumption/emissions due to improved technology compared to 2022.
28% less energy purchased from the public grid compared to 2022.
8.8% less CO2 emissions from the company's own fleet compared to 2021.
Improvement in CDP classification from company D to company B.
Expected Total Results.
Offsetting 100% of emissions from all years starting in 2022.
Expected reduction in CO2 emissions from the fleet by 2017 = 12% of emissions.
It reduced CO2 emissions by 20,000 tons and offset (neutralized) 139,238.424 tons of CO2 since the start of the project.
Total area impacted by the project: 30,000 hectares
