Energy Transition Project: Biomass Boiler
ComBio Energia
ABOUT IT
The purpose of the project is to promote the thermal energy transition of an industrial plant of a mining company located in the state of Pará. In order to dry the ore, the company previously used steam (thermal energy) produced by a boiler that burned BPF oil, a highly polluting fuel derived from petroleum. Ever since the ComBio project became operational, the thermal energy consumed by the factory began to be produced through the reuse of açaí seeds, a material that was previously improperly discarded, often being thrown into rivers and causing the silting of river beds.
The project is still being executed
O projeto não possui certificação externa.
