Renewable Energy
To combat climate change and to increase the share of renewable energy sources biomass
will play an important role. However, it has to be assured that the increase in use of biomass
for energy purposes goes hand in hand with the conservation of biodiversity environment,
because biomass production may create additional environmental pressures, such as on
biodiversity, soil and water resources. The optimisation of all steps from biomass cultivation
or collection over transport and processing may contribute to get the maximum greenhouse
gas emissions reductions and to reduce emissions affecting air quality.

Surveys in different EU countries have shown that electricity from biomass is not necessarily perceived as
'green'. Awareness of bioenergy or biomass is generally rather low and wind energy or solar power are the main
types of energy identified as renewable energies by a wider public. Compared to those homogenous energy
sources, the range of available fuels and feeding material which we encounter in the bioenergy sector may also
be perceived in remarkably different ways. While some fuels may be seen as clean others may be perceived as
dirty fuels (e.g. waste). However, this separation is not always as expected, because in countries with little forest
areas the use of waste for bioenergy may be more accepted than the idea of cutting trees (Rohracher et al.
2004).

The progress has been made, the 2010 target of 21 % renewable electricity for EU corresponding to 22.1 % for
EU15 will not be achieved under current policies and measures. Instead, currently implemented policies will
probably result in a share of between 18 % and 19 % in 2010. In total, renewable energy accounted for about
15.2 % of total electricity generation in 2002. It has been identified that the main reason why the target is not
being achieved is because the production of electricity from biomass has not been as high as initially foreseen

To ensure that biomass will contribute in the planned way to achieve the renewable energy goals for 2010 the
European Commission presented an Biomass Action Plan4 in December 2005. This action plan sets out
measures to increase the development of biomass energy from wood, wastes and agricultural crops by creating
market-based incentives to its use and removing barriers to the development of the market.

A variety of studies have proven the available potential of biomass in the European Union as well as in the OECD
(Siemons et al. 2004, Thrän et al. 2004, Bauen et al. 2004, EEA 2005). Some data shall be provided in the
following to get an idea about what are the most important biomass sources of the future.

The project 'Bio-Energy's role in the EU Energy Market' (Siemons et al. 2004) found a total availability of biomass
fuels in the EU25 plus 2 candidate countries of 159 Mtoe/yr for the year 2000, growing to 210 Mtoe/yr in 2020.5

Pollution
The growing demand for fossil fuels in the world: Between 1950 and 2005, the world's consumption of oil
grew more than 80%, bringing global demand to 85 million bbl. of oil per day. Despite this incredible growth, the
appetite for oil in the world only increases, as developing countries like China and India finally move toward
styles of living comparable to those of Europe and the U.S.. Most estimates show incredible double the oil
requirement of the between 120 million and 130 million bbl. per day by 2025 or 2030. This requirement can be
met if a majority of the additional stock coming from the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia, without taking into
account the peak demand in the future the sources tend to run out in the coming years. World consumption of
liquid in the event of increases in IEO2007 reference to 118 million barrels per day (239 in quatrilhões BTU) in
2030, as the world continues to experience strong economic growth. Two thirds of the increase in world
consumption of liquid in case the reference is designed for use in the transport sector, where there are few
competitive alternatives to petroleum. The industry has a 27-percent share of the projected increase, mainly for
use in manufacturing chemical and petrochemical product.

Coal from Asia in Asia: Coal consumption in emerging economies of Asia designed to be more than doubled,
rising from 2118 million tonnes in 2002 to 3715 million tonnes in 2015 and 4435 million tonnes in 2025. The
projected increase from 2317 million tonnes from 2002 to 2025 represents 78 percent of the increase in world
consumption of coal over the period, despite large increases in consumption of coal designed for emerging Asia.
In total energy consumption in the region also is designed to tilt slightly, from 47 percent in 2002 to 44 percent
in 2025 demand for coal from Asia: 3715 million tonnes in 2015

Problems of Pollution from coal in the U.S.. Coal is highly polluter in the generation of electricity. With all
surprising technological innovations on the last century, one thing has not changed much is confidence in the
U.S. from fossil fuels, Over 50% of the electricity generated in the U.S. still comes from coal in the 21 century.
U.S. should lift the 280 coal thermoelectric power plants by 2030. China is building the equivalent to a large
thermoelectric coal per week. (U.S. Department of Energy, "Coal website." Accessed August 8, 2006.) Pollution
by particles is one of the most dangerous air pollutants approximately 64 million Americans are affected
directly, putting their health at risk.

 Biomass Energy
BRASIL BIOMASSA E
ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL
S.A.

Biomass energy plays a vital role in meeting local energy demand in many regions of the developing
world. Biomass is a primary source of energy for close to 2.4 billion people in developing countries . It is
easily available to many of the world’s poor and provides vital and affordable energy for cooking and
space heating. Biomass-based industries are a significant source of enterprise development, job creation
and income generation in rural areas. Modern biomass energy is widely used in many developing
countries as well as in parts of the industrialized world. With proper management backed by adherence to
appropriate ecological practices, modern biomass can be a sustainable source of electricity as well as
liquid and gaseous fuels. Biomass, therefore, is not only a vital source of energy for many today but is
likely to remain an important source of energy in the future subject to its sustainable exploitation.

It contributes to poverty reduction in developing countries; It meets energy needs at all times, without
expensive conversion devices; It can deliver energy in all forms that people need (liquid and gaseous
fuels, heat and electricity); It is carbon dioxide-neutral and can even act as carbon sinks; and It helps to
restore unproductive and degraded lands, increasing biodiversity, soil fertility and water retention

Various global studies on the potential of biomass indicate that its use is expected to increase in the
future. The IEA estimates that final consumption of biomass energy will increase in most regions ,
although at a slower rate than conventional energy consumption. The share of biomass energy in total
global energy supply will, however, not increase and is expected to remain at about 11% .

Modern biomass technologies have the potential to provide improved energy services based on available
biomass resources and agricultural residues. Widespread use of combined heat and power generation
biomass options in rural areas can address multiple social, economic and environmental issues that now
constrain local development. The availability biomass power in rural areas could help provide cleaner,
more efficient energy services to support local development, promote environmental protection, provide
improved domestic fuels and improve rural livelihoods. Bioenergy technologies based on sustainable
biomass supply are carbon neutral and lead to net CO2 emission reduction if used to substitute fossil
fuels.

Another advantage of modern biomass energy is its job generation potential – a very important attraction
for many developing countries faced with chronic levels of unemployment or under-employment. Existing

Brazil has tradition on biomass production and use. The country fulfils the main required conditions
regarding large-scale production of biomass, such as land availability, adequate weather conditions,
inexistency of particular constraints regarding labour and the domain both of biomass-production and
biomass-conversion technologies in the agricultural and in the industrial sides.

Few countries with reasonable to good level of industrialization, like Brazil, have an energy matrix with
such an important share of renewable energy sources. In 2007, 42 per cent of the Brazilian primary
energy supply was covered by renewables. Hydraulic has contributed in 2007 with 12.8 per cent of the
domestic energy supply. The set of biomass sources have covered in the same year 29.3 per cent of the
domestic energy supply, with a contribution of 13.6 per cent of sugarcane products (alcohol and bagasse),
13.0 per cent of wood (firewood and charcoal) and 2.7 per cent of other renewable energy sources –
mainly black liquor and agricultural wastes.

Brazil has tradition and a significant potential on biomass production. The historical importance of biomass
energy in Brazil is due to a set of factors, including (i) the size of the country and the availability of land,
(ii) the adequacy of its weather, (iii) the availability and the low cost of the working force and, most
important, (iv) the domain of biomass-production and biomass-conversion technologies in the agricultural
and in the industrial sectors. The accomplishment of these conditions defines a potential biomass.

Technical and environmental aspects: i) Average annual yield: 25-50 t/ha for eucalyptus (7 years) and 20-
40 t/ha for pines (12 years); ii) Up to 3 harvests per planting for eucalyptus; iii) Charcoal - increasing
efficiency leading from 330 to 450 kg / t of wood (+ 36%), together with the achievement of 100 % from
planted forests for 2010; iv) No-tillage or reduced tillage is the usual method of planting; v) Highly
reduced input of chemicals; vi) At licensing stage, it is required the adoption of general BMPs; vii) Land
availability for new forests may be met inside the 10 M ha already forested, even considering rotation
practices. Reasons: short-term rotation and increasing earnings obtained in productivity.

However, considering the existence of approximately 50 Mm3 of forest residue practically forgotten, it
should be considered the utilization of this as an energy. In a horizon of 1 year, when new plantations and
reforestation as mention before were ready to be harvested, as a result mainly from the National
Programs, Brazil will have great availability of forest biomass to be exported. 11

Using wood wastes from sustainable forestry as fuel
increases the health of the forest resource. Brazil
Biomass are looking for new markets for low-grade
wood wastes from the forest, as a way to remove cull
trees and improve forest health.

Biomass systems are relatively easy to convert to other

fuels and so offer great flexibility for an uncertain
energy future. Solid-fuel systems, particularly those
made to burn chunky fuels like wood chips, can readily
be converted to burn almost any other fuel.

The greatest environmental benefit of burning wood for energy is

in its positive impact in moderating climate change. CO2 buildup in
the atmosphere is the primary cause of global climate change.
Fossil fuel combustion takes carbon that was locked away
underground (as crude oil and gas) and puts it in the atmosphere
as CO2. When wood is burned, however, it recycles carbon that
was already in the natural carbon cycle. The net effect of burning
wood fuel is that no new CO2 is added to the atmosphere, as long
as the forests from which the wood came are sustainably
managed. Therefore, when wood replaces fossil fuel, the net
impact is to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere significantly.

As public consciousness and information about environmental and

resource issues increases, often see wood energy as an attractive
choice over fossil fuels.

What Is The
S.A.
Opportunity?
The conversion of woody biomass to energy in Brazil poses a unique opportunity to simultaneously
address three challenging problems:
• The need to restore Brazil’s forest health
• Renewable energy alternatives
• The need to revitalize Brazil’s rural communities

With the peak of worldwide petroleum production in sight, interest in alternative energy sources is
growing. Most people recognize that America/Europe/Asia is placing its economic future and national
security at risk by continuing to rely on fossil fuels which are becoming increasingly expensive and often
come from societies that are hostile to us. In addition, it is becoming increasingly evident that fossil fuels
carry heavy environmental costs that must be addressed.

Conventional technologies are available that can be applied immediately to produce electricity and heat
from biomass. In fact, they have been applied for decades by the forest products industry to utilize mill
wood wastes and generate a significant amount of energy.

About 37% of biomass‐derived energy came from wood wastes. Another 46% came from combustion of
spent pulping liquor, a byproduct of the papermaking process.

The potential payoff from production of liquid fuels from biomass is greater. Technologies to convert
cellulosic biomass such as wood to ethanol, while not yet commercial, should be available within the next
decade.

14
BRASIL BIOMASSA E What Are The Environmental
ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL
S.A. Benefits?
Science on the environmental issues surrounding use of forest biomass for energy production indicates
environmental benefits arise from reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire, restoring overcrowded forests
to conditions that are more natural, and from replacing non‐renewable energy with renewable energy.

Benefits include air quality improvement, reduction in greenhouse gases, soil and water conservation, and
protection and restoration of wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Some benefits accrue from both forest
restoration and fossil fuel replacement. For example, air pollution and greenhouse gases emissions are
reduced by reducing wildfire likelihood and by reducing emissions from energy production as biomass
replaces fossil fuel. Other impacts are characterized in terms of shortterm versus long term risk.

Woody biomass energy can help Brazil achieve its goal of supplying 25 percent of the energy needs from
renewable resources by 2025. Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil supplies supports
national goals of lowering the trade deficit.

Closer to home, a direct economic impact related to forest biomass utilization is job creation,
predominantly in the rural areas of Santa Catarina. Production of 150 MW of electricity from woody
biomass would create about 900 jobs. This does not count indirect job creation, which is usually in the
range of 2 ‐ 3 indirect jobs per direct job.

Opportunities for converting forest biomass to energy most commonly fell under the headings of forest
restoration, rural economic development, and renewable energy. Forest restoration was generally seen as
the most important driver of the momentum to convert forest biomass to energy in Brazil.
Global Environment Benefits. The implementation of this project intervention will yield a total CO2
emission reduction of about 26,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and 390,000 tCO2e per plant life. The
replication and multiplier impact of the proposed project has a potential of supporting new renewable
energy technologies based power projects in Brazil alone which will give carbon emission reductions of
about triple.

Additional benefits of the project would include reduced dependence on fossil fuels. The project will also
have a positive impact on the Santa Catarina economy, taking into consideration new opportunities for
15
employment that will become available due to higher productivity achieved in the local industries based

Utilization of biomass in distributed power plants, both for heat generation and possibly for heat and
power co-generation, feeding district heating networks, represents a priority action with respect to the
objectives of the International energy policy, in terms of reduction of CO2 emissions, energy supply
security, energy efficiency, environmental improvement at local level in highly polluted residential areas
and social acceptability. Properly selected projects may represent the least cost investment towards these
objectives. Scope of the Project is the technical configuration of optimum models of energy conversion

Biomass energy supports the agricultural and forest industries. The main biomass feedstocks for power
are paper mill refuse, lumber mill scrap, forest clearance, the debris from tree pruning, etc. Also, cleaning
and clearing forest reduces the risk of forest fires. Under the framework of the Kyoto Agreement, the
generation of electricity from biomass does not compute in terms of emissions, as the process involves
the release of carbon previously fixed in the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

The environmental benefits of the use of renewable resources, in terms of reduction of CO2 emissions (Kyoto
objective) and of increased security of energy supply, are at the base of the energetic policy of the Brazil. An
environmental benefit at local level, related to improvement of the air quality, is due to take place as a result of the
elimination of conventional heating boilers, of the selection of environment-friendly technologies and of the
particular attention in the decisions relevant to plants location.
1. Introduction. Promoting a diversity of renewable energy generating resources in Santa Catarina is good energy
policy for a state that has an electricity system heavily dependent on hydropower and increasingly dependent on
fossil fuels. Because some renewable energy fuels are freely accessible and others are not subject to fossil fuel
price swings, they help stabilize electric rates. They contribute to a healthy electric power infrastructure. Similarly,
developing a biofuels industry in Brazil will help reduce our dependence on petroleum for transportation.As
importantly, developing the state’s renewable energy resources, related manufacturing and research and
development presents a huge economic opportunity, particularly in rural parts of the state where economic
development can be most challenging. Investments stay in Brazil, creating jobs and growing a “second crop” for
farmers, ranchers and forest landowners. Finally, renewable energy is an investment in the environment by
displacing the use of fossil fuel generation and avoiding numerous pollutants and global warming gases.The energy
conversion projects from biomass can be classified as priority ones for the object of a rational and efficient use of
biomass in a Sustainable Energy System, both at Brazil level, but their development is hindered by considerable
barriers, deriving from the complexity of their numerous components, such as: Collection, transport and storage
system for biomass of different classes (virgin and residual). Energy conversion plant of moderate capacity,
subject to new and strict regulatory rules with respect to environmental impact. Specifically, the impact of the
Project can be broadly referred to several contents: a) Presentation of the legislative and regulations framework in
a new and complex sector such as biomass utilization, with reference to the specific prescriptions. b)
Rationalization of the biomass market and selection of the biomass which can be conveniently utilized, within the
specific context of Sant Catarina. c) Identification of efficient, proven and economic technologies for biomass
transformation, and selection of the optimum models in the framework of biomass availability and of heat demand.
d) Example of territorial investigation and planning of district heating systems, presentation of methodologies and
results in real conditions, in order to disseminate the knowledge, identify opportunities in the area and stimulate
the application in similar areas. e) Reduction of the emissions and improvement of the environmental impact of
the energy sector as a whole.f) Evaluation of the viability conditions for some actual cases, in terms of technical,
environmental and economic aspects, singling out benefits, limits, constraints and barriers.The biomass utilization
may provide the following impact with respect to standards: 1. Increase of the local market of biomass as a fuel. 2.
Push towards a modernization of the Brazilian regulations relevant to the plants for combustion of fossil fuel, that
even today foresee the compulsory adoption of the open expansion vessel, with an overall increase of the
construction costs and sometimes decrease of the efficiency of the energy conversion process. 3. Push towards18 the

Goals and Initiatives
Santa Catarina has long been one of the nation’s Brazilian leaders in encouraging renewable energy resources.
Among the benefits of renewable energy for the state: • Using forest residues to produce energy can improve
forest health, reduce wildfire risk and fire suppression costs, and reduce overall smoke emissions from forestland
burning. • Generating energy from waste gas at dairies, landfills and sewage treatment plants can reduce
environmental liabilities and provide another revenue source for businesses and communities. • Renewable
resources help insulate from volatile fossil-fuel prices. • Using renewable energy resources reduces air pollution,
thereby reducing health care costs and limiting the impact of likely stricter federal emission standards in the
future. • A healthy environment helps attract and retain businesses and is also very important to the tourist
industry.

2. The Benefits of Renewable Energy Resources. Fossil fuels pose significant risks when considering the
availability and price. Readily available energy at an affordable price is essential for the manufacturing,
agricultural, transportation, retail, and indeed all sectors of Santa Catarina economy. It is prudent that we diversify
our investments and allocate a greater portion to renewable resources. By focusing our efforts on renewable
energy markets, Santa Catarina will better protect itself from the volatility of the wholesale electricity and natural
gas markets. It is essential that we act now to lay the foundation for accelerated renewable energy development
that will sustain Santa Catarina progress. Developing renewable resources reduces major health risks through
reduced air, land, and water pollution. Adverse effects of global warming on weather and climate can be mitigated
by reduced CO2 emissions. Economic Development and Job Creation. Santa Catarina expect their basic needs to be
met. They expect the State of Santa Catarina to plan for and develop an environment that produces social and
economic benefits that meet current and future needs, while preserving and restoring the health of the natural
environment. Investments in renewable energy result in a net increase in jobs.

3.Goals and Initiatives. The Plan’s goal is to encourage and accelerate the sustainable production of energy from
renewable sources, stimulate economic development, particularly in rural parts of the state, and improve the
environmental future of the state. The Plan intends to demonstrate a variety of technologies for tapping renewable
resources, and to help remove barriers to renewable resource development.

4. Biomass. Currently, there are biomass combustion boilers at more than industrial sites in Santa Catarina. These
boilers supply heat and energy for industrial processes. New biomass energy markets may provide a way of
disposing of otherwise problematic forest biomass residues from timber harvests, stand improvement activities,
fuels treatments, and thinning in a cost-effective manner. Agricultural and urban biomass wastes (extracted solid
wastes) can also be utilized as fuel for energy facilities. The lack of certainty in biomass outputs and the high cost
of gathering and transporting forest and other biomass to an energy conversion facility continue to be barriers to
economic biomass energy development. However, investments in forest and other biomass conversion to energy 19

Equipment and Machines that must With Investment The DPC drum chipper is a machine especially
designed to process fibrous bark, as well as wood residues, which are usually mixed with this kind of
material. The machine mainly differs in its innovative construction characteristics, allowing the absorption
of a very irregular volume of material, chipping it with high efficiency and productivity rates. The
equipment does not offer any resistance to the material infeed thanks to the big compacting roll, that
guarantee a continuous operation and a complete directed material feed to the shredding process.
Exclusive feeding system with a variable height infeed section, allowing great volume absorption; Modern
and simple conception which feature standard component operation and maintenance easiness; Anti-
wearing protection at the high wearing areas - guaranteeing longer durability; Knives and counter-knife
system designed to allow fast changes, avoiding adjustments needs; High mechanical availability;
Complete Service Support through a technician team; High performance through planned training and
after-sale service.

The material to be processed (1) is introduced in the machine through the in-feed belt (2) through the
lower conveyor rolls system (3) and teethed upper compactor roll (4), (4), bringing the materials to the
entrance of the machine until the rotor (5).
(5). The articulation of the "hood" of the compactor roll around its
shaft allows the opening of the in-feed section, that varies according to the volume of material to be
processed (into the equipment technical limits). Through the action of the conveyor rolls, in group of the
compactor roll, the material is forced against the rotor, being cut in regular length by the knives (6) and
first counter-knife (7) to be then classified by the screen (8) and discharged, in the shape of chips. The
chip that eventually, were chipped with size bigger than the standard of the machine will be re-chipped by
the second counter-knife (9) until to reach the acceptable size. The working system above described is
flexible, allowing a control of the size of the final product processed, through the alteration in the variable

Chip Processing DPM forest chipper was developed to chip whole trees, wood edges, branches and
roots, for biomass purposes. After processing, the chips are blown into a bucket located at the chipper
back side. When the bucket is full, chips are thrown onto a truck to be transported to the final destination.
The chipping process results in a significant volume reduction, making those initially unattractive
materials highly profitable.

Productivity. The chipper is pulled by a farm tractor and driven by its power take-off. The DPM chipper
can work continuously due to construtive figures, regardless of whether the tractor is moving or
stationary. Allied to this advantage, the chipper in-feed system generates a high yielding for this machine
type.

Durability.
Durability. Due to an extremely sturdy and flexible construction (double welded beams), a long life time

and electrical safety switches. Optionally, a metal detector can be installed in a non-metallic zone.
Projected to classify logs in different diameters and/or lengths, the log classifier is built in a modular
concept, according to the needed box quantity for each installation. Featuring a sturdy metallic structure,
built with tubular profiles, supports a chain conveyor that forewards the logs to the respective boxes,
where they are stored by pneumatically activated deviators. The bark is collected by a belt conveyor that
transports it to a silo, pile or container. A re-chipper may be added to the system, to chip the bark to any
desired size, for other purposes (substracte or fuel).Chips are transported between the screen and the pile
or silo following international standards. Belts, screw or pneumatic systems with distinct configurations
and applications guarantee the chip transfer at low cost and high productivity. Our application

Wood chips and other low-grade wood wastes are the major type of biomass fuel. Other common biomass
fuel sources are agricultural. Wood-chips are cut according to the sizes ordered by the buyers and they are
dishydrated through. Wood residues from pulp and paper manufacturing, lumber mills, and other industrial
wood users are frequently used for producing biomass electricity. Hundreds of biomass fuel systems are
currently at work in different parts heating schools, government complexes, and entire city downtowns, as
well as producing renewable electricity.
Biomass is a renewable fuel that can be sustainably produced. Biomass fuel is a local product. In contrast to
coal or petroleum-based fuel, biomass is grown and harvested on local and regional forests and farms.
Energy dollars spent on biomass fuel stay in the regional economy, creating jobs and supporting forestry and
agriculture. Biomass fuel prices are generally lower and more stable.
Wood Chip is readily available and cheaper than mains gas and oil. Wood Chip is a renewable energy source.
Wood Chip combustion is carbon neutral. Wood Fuel heating systems can be fully automated. Wood Fuel
heating systems convert 90% of the fuel into usable heat energy. The South has the most dense woodland in
Brazil. 75% of all woodland in the South Brazil is privately owned which could lead to alternative revenue
sources.
Wood chips can be sourced from a range of forest sources, ranging from round wood to forest thinnings.
Wood greater than 2.5cms in diameter will generally be acceptable as chipping material. The residues from
thinning, and the removal of side branches (snedding) would generally be left in situ for preliminary drying
before chipping.
The main quality criteria for woodchips are: chip size: only the "fine" (smaller than 30 mm) and "medium"
grades (below 50 mm) are suitable for small-scale installations; water content: this determines the energy
content of the fuel on the one hand and its storability on the other; bulk density: this indicates the weight per
cubic metre (bulk volume) and depends on wood type, particle shape, degree of compaction and water
content. At some stage of the processing the wood chip need to be dried. Different technologies require
different moisture contents and these can range between 15% wb and 45% wb. Freshly harvested green
wood can, depending on species, have a moisture content of up to 59%. As a guide, for efficient combustion
a woodchip should generally have a moisture content of 25% wet basis. This produces a fuel which can be
burnt efficiently, is not too dusty and stores without excessive self-heating or loss of dry matter.
The advantages of wood chip are:
• it is cheap, often as cheap as logs and now (June 2006) cheaper than mains gas;
• it is a standardised product with Europe wide quality standards in place; 32

PROJECT WOOD PELLETS

 Wood Pellets
BRASIL BIOMASSA E
ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL
S.A.

Wood Pellets are a form of compacted biomass in order to increase the density of the fuel and thus making it
more economic to transport over longer distances. Most pellets are made from sawdust and ground wood
chips, which are waste materials from trees used to make furniture, lumber, and other products. Resins and
binders (lignin) occurring naturally in the sawdust hold wood pellets together, so they usually contain no
additives.

Other materials, like straw, corn, nut hulls and similar can also be used to produce pellets, but those are less
common. Pellets are cylindrical in form and their typical dimensions are 5-6 mm in diameter and 15-25 mm
in length. Features: 1) Raw material: Pellet fuel is made mainly of sawdust, shavings and fines leftover after
processing trees for lumber and other wood products. At a pellet mill the material is dried, compressed, and
formed into small eraser-sized bits. They are clean, pleasant smelling and smooth to touch. 2) Working
principle: Adopts gear transition and makes pellets.

The environmental benefits of Wood Pellets: Carbon Reduction-CO2 is taken from the atmosphere by trees
during their life which is released back when burnt or during the natural process of decay. Even allowing for
the carbon produced in planting harvesting sawing and transportation of timber and the manufacture and
delivery of pellets, it is estimated that the net reduction in CO2 emissions is 90% better when comparing the
use of Wood Pellets to Fossil Fuels. Wood Pellets are clean. Unlike most other fuels wood pellets are
environment clean, when spilt they can be collected and used as fuel or compost, when burnt the ash
produced can be used in the garden as a fertilizer. Wood is a renewable fuel. Never removes trees faster
from the forest than it is added to by natural growth, modern plantation methods make it possible to plant
and harvest forests within a 30 year cycle.

Agricultural biomass Brazil includes animal manure, cellulosic crop residues, fruit and vegetable culls and
food-processing effluent. Potential energy crops include high-yielding, high-carbohydrate crops such as
switchgrass and vegetable-oil crops such as canola and sunflower, and hydrocarbon plants. Many materials
originated by agriculture could be used for production of densified biomass fuels agri-pellet: Some of them
are straw, grain hull waste, sugar beet waste, pruning, fruit stone, dry fruit waste, cork, grain, cotton, malt
and tobacco waste, with obviously, woody residues. Agricultural residues refer to the portion of plant
material that remains after a crop has been harvested and separated.

Primary residues are those that are the result of farm-level activities; they include items such as straw,
stalks and leaves that are left over after harvest. Secondary residues are those that result from processing,
such as sugar beet pulps, cotton mill wastes, peanut shells, etc. For most crops, and said roughly, primary
residues are produced in quantities approximately equal in weight to the crop production, and are already
used for different purposes (soil conservation, animal feeding and litter, heating). The amount of secondary
residues varies widely depending on the crop and processing methods used.
used

Benefits of the agropellet process: Stops the biological degradation of the feedstock and instead puts it to
good use (moisture is decreased by 10 per cent) . Increases the heating capability of the biomass with low
energy consumption . Increases the energy density of the feedstock, making handling, storage, transport,
and use of solid biofuel much easier.

Using the new agropellet technology, all agro-forestry wastes can be converted into valuable “agro-pellets.”
Once this or similar processes of mechanical drying and compacting reach high levels of acceptance and
use, the majority of low-value humid agricultural waste could be converted into a first-rate economic value
commodity, with large decrease in CO2 emissions. The decrease in emissions is a direct consequence of the
biological degradation of the waste.

The process consists of grinding humid biomasses such as wastes, peat and energy crops (crops grown
solely for the purpose of energy generation). This grinding process is followed by a high-compression
procedure which results in small, dry biomass cylinders (agropellets). 

“What is compelling about this procedure is the fact that humid biomass can now be stabilised using

Much of the raw materials we use for biomass comes from forests certified. Sustainable forestry practices and

production capacity, both for the production of wood chips or the use of forest residues in the form of biomass.
The general aim is to reduce emissions of the greenhouse effect of gases through the establishment of
sustainable forest plantations of eucalyptus for industrial purposes and co-generation of energy.

Unlike fossil fuels or non-renewable, energy forests provide a great service environment in that it enables the
recycling of CO2. In other words, from the photosynthesis, forests absorb the existing CO2 in the atmosphere,
store the carbon in biomass and become a source of renewable energy. The Biomass Project also has a
component for reducing emissions of methane (CH4).

The replacement of the array of non-renewable fossil fuels by the burning of renewable biomass reduces the
amount of greenhouse gases from human activities emitted into the atmosphere. Within the carbon market, the
planting of forests energy may have benefits in two ways, through carbon sequestration done on plant growth
and reduce emissions through the replacement of the energy matrix of fossil fuels by biomass. Our goal is the
use of forest residues, which replace the emissions of methane from forest residues and reduce carbon
emissions from fossil fuel combustion in the replacement of polluting energy matrix. The sequestration of carbon
from forest plantings energy, is eligible within the Clean Development Mechanism - CDM, as activity of Forest /
Forestry - A / R (the original English Aforestation / Reforestation), in the case of forests of eucalyptus and pine.
The methodology AR-AM0005 was approved by the panel of methodologies of the UN Framework Convention for
Climate Change.

biomass. The first project of business that will generate the carbon credit
involves the plant where Wood Chips used throughout the production chain for international business. Biomass
in the form of wood is provided by owners of the region. The biomass wastes that would be stored in batteries in
the open, Decomposing and generating methane will be used for industrial process. With the project the wood
chips are avoiding the generation of methane.

Project: Generating renewable energy source, in addition to avoiding the generation of methane.
Reducing emissions (energy): 50,586 TCO2 - Reducing emissions (methane): 247,501 tCO2
Period of obtaining credits: 21 years (3 periods of 7 years)
Value tonne of carbon: € 15 - Estimates of Revenue with carbon credits: U.S. $ 12072523.00

Reference Design for Reduced Emissions from Power Generation by Use of Forestry and Waste
Biomass Power Plant by the cogeneration of Energy. Energy. The second project of business we are offering to the
market and will be developed by a co-generation Power Plant Power with the use of forest residues and for the
generation of electricity. Results in higher project for commercial use of biomass co-generation of energy in
Brazil and one of the largest in the world, contributing substantially to sustainable development locally, both in
view of mitigation of environmental problems as the current generation of municipal revenue. We have the
approval of the Carbon Fund of the World Bank, resulting in perspective as a model for generating correct and
monitored by certificates of carbon credits. Description of Project: The project consists of replacing the use of
waste biomass to renewable (splinter of wood, sawdust, etc.). To generate steam and power. Project: Generating
renewable energy source, in addition to avoiding the generation of methane arising from the storage of waste
batteries in the open forest.

Project: Replacing the consumption of 11,300 tonnes of fossil fuel and biomass to generate energy.
Reducing emissions: 32,700 TCO2 - Amount of ton of carbon: € $ 15

The mill will operate providing electricity and heat from the same fuel, biomass, from the waste of our plant. In
addition to supplying much of the energy consumption in the region, the Mill will strengthen the economy adding
value to a product before it was discarded and would undermine the environment. We use the example of
Tractebel Energy that sells carbon credits of the Office of Co-generation Lages, enterprise certified as Clean
Development by the United Nations. The plant generates energy from waste from the logging industry in the
region, avoiding the emission of methane gas would be released with the decomposition of wood and cause the

OPTIONS FOR PROJECT AGGREGATION. To add value to the project business, in addition to
participation in the industrial unit and the international sale of wood chips the investor will have
proportionately shareholder rights on the Carbon Credit Project of Reference for Reduced Emissions
from the Use of Waste Power Plant by the Forestry Production Wood chips and biomass. Participation in
the PRS Wood Chips is a guarantee the holding of biomass - forest residues and the development of
cogeneration Power Plant Power Project and the Credit Reference of Carbon Emissions Reduced from
the Power Generation by Use of Forestry and Biomass Waste Mill by the cogeneration of Energy.

SOCIETY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. For safety's total investor are formalizing a special purpose
company of which the investor is the shareholder of the Industrial Unit. Our society is being structured
in the form of project finance, where the resources of investors are guaranteed by the ability to
generate cash in the project and the contract for the sale of wood chips, the right of carbon credits and
exploitation of plant cogeneration of energy. We must emphasize that the managed system is designed
to protect the investor and enhance the return net of dividends to be generated. Our business is ballast
in net cash flows of Shareholder / Investor.
METHODS OF EVALUATION. Several methods of deterministic assessment of investments, some
classified as accurate, within the basic principles, and other incomplete, but are still widely used as a
supplementary method for many companies because of its ease of calculation. In our project business
will be used both methods:
Method of Net Present Value (NPV). The method is to bring the present value, discounted the MRI,
the incremental cash flow to be generated. How can it be assessed the NPV is positive, and totally
viable our project is viable and becomes the most attractive alternative investment.
Method of Internal Rate of Return (IRR). By definition the Internal Rate of Return is the discount
rate to which the NPV of the cash flow of the alternative in question is invalid. The project IRR of our
business is return on capital invested.

EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT. In the project's industrial unit of wood chips, the TMA
is above 18% per annum and is the average of the rates of long-term. Data presented on the next page
show that the plant is totally feasible. In addition to the right of carbon credits and the rights of
exploration and development of a cogeneration units of energy with the use of forest residues. The
table summary of the investments will be made after expressions of interest from the company. 88

The progress has been made, the 2010 target of 21 % renewable electricity for EU corresponding to 22.1 %
for EU15 will not be achieved under current policies and measures. Instead, currently implemented policies
will probably result in a share of between 18 % and 19 % in 2010. It has been identified that the main
reason why the target is not being achieved is because the production of electricity from biomass has not
been as high as initially foreseen.
The United Kingdom is seeking to reduce its carbon footprint to meet its obligations under both the
European Union (EU) and the Kyoto Protocol. The EU has set a goal of reducing energy consumption in its
member states by 20 percent. It also intends to have biofuels make up 10 percent of all transportation fuels
by 2020. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the country has agreed to reduce its 1990 carbon emissions by 12.5
percent by 2012, and it is on track to meet that goal. Imports will continue to be an important part of the
strategy, especially for transport fuels and biomass cofired with wood chips for electricity production.
Currently, the UK imports the equivalent of 54 terawatt-hours of biomass for energy production. This is
more than half of the country’s potential biomass production under the biomass strategy. Imports of
biomass and biofuels are expected to increase.
The principal economic advantage of Center Biomass Brazil
is that their fuel is considerably less expensive than
competing fuels. This means that wood-chip systems offer
greater security from future fuel price shocks. Also, as a
locally produced, renewable fuel, wood chips can offer both
environmental and local economic benefits that other fuels
cannot match. More details visit our corporate web site

Biomass fuel comes from a renewable, sustainable resource base. Fossil fuels will eventually run
out, but with proper forestry practices, the biomass resource base can be sustained indefinitely.

Biomass Wood Chips prices have been stable historically and are not directly linked to national or
global energy markets. Biomass fuels can be expected to increase in price more slowly than
competing fuels. Over the last 15-20 years biomass prices have stayed level.

Biomass Wood Chips systems are often capable of giving higher levels of comfort at a lower energy
cost. Because biomass fuels are very inexpensive, many building owners feel they can now afford
comfortable building temperatures in winter weather. With higher-priced conventional fuels, owners
often reduce temperatures or reduce ventilation to save money.

Future energy taxes, such as a carbon tax or a Btu

tax, are less likely to impact the price of biomass
fuels compared to fossil fuels. In national policy
discussions, energy taxes generally give preference
to renewable, locally supplied fuels that do not lead
to global warming.

Biomass has a negligible sulfur content, so its

combustion does not contribute to the atmospheric
buildup of oxides of sulfur (SOx), a cause of acid
rain. When biomass is burned for energy, using
wood from sustainable forestry practices, there is no
net increase in the greenhouse gases that cause
climate change when biomass replaces fossil fuels,
there is a net reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions.
