Beyond The New Mega Pulp Factory, The Company Brought Several Enterprises To The City Making It A True Construction Site And Generating Hundreds Of Jobs

As soon as you arrive in the city of Ribas do Rio Pardo, everyone notices the profound change that the mega project of the pulp factory from Suzano has brought to the town, which has just over 20,000 inhabitants. These changes range from the heavy truck traffic on BR-262 highway, new properties being built, hotels and numerous accommodations lining the road, to crowded shops, various job openings created, and a huge influx of people who are now part of the small town’s routine.

This “boom” in the city arose with the Cerrado Project, announced in May 2021 and confirmed by Suzano’s Board of Directors in early November of that same year. The project will receive a total investment of R$ 19.3 billion and, at the peak of construction in April 2023, is expected to generate around 10,000 direct jobs. Today, 6,000 workers are employed on the construction site.

With operations expected to start in the second half of 2024, the new factory (which will be Suzano’s most competitive unit) will produce 2.55 million tons of eucalyptus pulp per year, providing job opportunities for more than 3,000 people, including direct and third-party employees, in forestry and industrial areas, and mobilizing the entire economic chain of the region.

Pulp Factory Construction

The construction works for Suzano’s new pulp factory are on schedule with significant advances so far, with the main highlight being the assembly of precast components for electric rooms and process areas.

In addition, the progress of the sectioning substation and the 138 kV electric system transmission line being constructed at the site is noteworthy.

Suzano is also conducting monitoring of the flora in the vicinity of the construction site and has delivered a new vehicle to the Civil Police in Ribas do Rio Pardo as part of the company’s Basic Environmental Plan (PBA).

Grandiosity of the Enterprise

According to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Economic Development, Production and Family Agriculture (Semagro) Jaime Verruck, and the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce, Bruno Bastos, who visited the site last week, they were amazed by the progress of the construction and the grandeur of the enterprise.

“This will be the largest company in the world in a single technological line of pulp. We see that the construction is extremely advanced and the expectation is that by December 2024 we will be able to inaugurate this enterprise that has generated many jobs in Mato Grosso do Sul,” Verruck highlighted.

According to him, the factory will promote the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), in addition to creating opportunities for entrepreneurs in Mato Grosso do Sul and many jobs for people to work.

Grandiosity of the Enterprise

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

Lula scraps the blouse tax, and international purchases up to US$50 are exempt from federal tax, but ICMS is still on the radar.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Who is the billionaire who donated R$ 140 billion and gave up almost half of her fortune?

As deserts advance, China installs 1 GW of solar+wind in the Tengger Desert and generates 1.8 billion kWh/year for 1.5 million households, with panels creating a microclimate that stimulates vegetation.

While the whole of Europe debates the four-day week, Germany takes the opposite path and proposes ending the historic eight-hour daily limit to redistribute working hours throughout the week, but the Confederation of Trade Unions rejects the idea and advises against the change.
