The First Thermoelectric Plant in Brazil Powered by Stumps and Roots Operates Inside the Eldorado Brasil Pulp Mill Complex

The leading pulp producer Eldorado Brasil started operations on April 9 of the first thermoelectric plant powered by eucalyptus stumps and roots in Brazil. The facility is located in Mato Grosso do Sul and has been named Onça Pintada. The plant received investments of approximately R$ 400 million and will have the capacity to generate 432 thousand MegaWatts of energy per year.

The new plant operates within the Eldorado Brasil pulp mill complex in Três Lagoas, a city located 338 kilometers from the capital.

The raw material used for energy production comes from the biomass of trees harvested for pulp manufacturing at the Eldorado mill.

The Leader in Pulp Production Eldorado Brasil is Already Energy Self-Sufficient

Eldorado Brasil uses byproducts from the pulp manufacturing process as an energy source to supply its manufacturing park, making the company energy self-sufficient.

The new thermoelectric plant in Brazil, powered by stumps and roots, will offer 100% clean and sustainable energy to the national electricity grid, via ACR (Regulated Contracting Environment), under a contract managed by ONS (National Electric System Operator).

Eldorado Brasil has been conducting tests for project approval and obtaining licensing for the start of operations since March, under the supervision of environmental and electricity sector authorities.

The tests were completed this week, confirming the proper functioning of the turbine, boiler, and other equipment involved in the operation. The project received an Operating License, issued by Imasul (Mato Grosso do Sul Environmental Institute), valid for four years.

Direct Sale of Ethanol from Plants Will Encourage Competition and Curb Gasoline Price Increases at Fuel Stations

In an effort to curb rising gasoline and diesel prices at fuel stations, the Legislative Decree Project (PDC 916/2018), which addresses the direct sale of ethanol by mills – without going through distributors, has gained momentum in recent weeks with government support.

The director-general of ANP, Rodolfo Saboia, stated that the creation of the so-called linked distributor – a regulatory alternative to enable ethanol sales by producers directly to fuel stations – was delayed due to the Ministry of Economy taking time to present a tax solution.

There are estimates that concentrating production and distribution margins on the producer and increasing competition between producers and distributors in the fuel market could reduce the price of hydrated ethanol for the final consumer by up to 20 cents per liter.

Raízen, a Shell Group Company, Wants to Build Three Ethanol Plants Made from Bagasse and Sugarcane Straw

Raízen, the global ethanol production giant in partnership with Shell, plans to build three more cellulosic ethanol plants – or second-generation plants. The good news was announced by entrepreneur Rubens Ometto from Cosan on Monday (03/15).

The technology for producing cellulosic ethanol was developed through a partnership between Shell and the Canadian company logen, specialized in biotechnology. In the last harvest (2019/20), the Piracicaba unit produced 226 liters of ethanol for each ton of dry biomass.
