Suzano’s Venture in Mato Grosso do Sul Will Contribute to Carbon Capture
The new unit will help mitigate the effects of climate change related to the increase in renewable energy generation in the country, with the capacity to export approximately 180 average MW to Brazil’s electricity system. This new Suzano project is set to be the first unit in the paper and pulp sector in the country considered fossil fuel-free, marking a new milestone for the company in eco-efficiency, highlighting its commitment to society and the planet.
The realization of the project, which will have the capacity to produce 2.3 million tons of eucalyptus pulp annually, will result in the largest single-line pulp factory in the world, but still depends on preceding conditions, such as compliance with the parameters established in Suzano’s Financial Policy and negotiations with suppliers. The Projeto Cerrado will primarily rely on the company’s cash generation, which may be complemented by financing, provided the terms are attractive in terms of cost and duration.

During the construction of the new factory in Ribas do Rio Pardo, around 10,000 direct jobs are expected to be generated at the peak of the work, in addition to thousands of indirect jobs throughout the region of Mato Grosso do Sul.
