ABOUT IT
The project's Inpasa Agroindustrial implemented an innovative project of reuse of ash in industrial boilers, transforming waste into additional source of thermal energy. The initiative aims to optimize combustion efficiency and reduce the generation of solid waste, promoting gains. environmental, economic and social aligned with the agenda of circular economy and energy transition.
The project was implemented in four of the company's facilities. Sinop/MT, Nova Mutum/MT, Dourados/MS and Sidrolândia/MS — and it has proven to be a Strategic action to increase operational competitiveness. and strengthen Inpasa's environmental commitment to the bioenergy sector.
