No results found.The Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá) is the association responsible for institutionally representing the planted tree production chain with its main stakeholders. Ibá represents 50 companies and 9 state entities for products originating from planted trees, most notably wood panels, laminate flooring, pulp, paper, charcoal steel industry and biomass, as well as independent producers and financial investors which together contribute with 7% of Brazil’s industrial Gross Domestic Product.
The sector holds 9 million hectares of planted trees and 5.9 million hectares for conservation. The total forest area removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores the carbon into six carbon pools with the potential of storing 4,48 bi TCO2e.
Forest biomass also plays an important role of avoiding carbon emission to the atmosphere when used in industry. By investing in circular bioeconomy this industry has transformed a residue from pulp mills into a source of renewable bioenergy - the black liquor, which represents 69% of the total energy needed by the sector. Adding 20% of forest biomass chip and shavings, the energy matrix of this sector reaches 89% of renewability. Additionally, Brazil is the global leader of charcoal production (12%). 1.8 ton CO2eq is avoided for each ton of pig iron. Such contribution has gained attention from ENDP and GEF, both organizations support an initiative called Sustainable Steelmaking Project - unique from Brazil and that has significant importance in social, environmental and economic aspects. The charcoal industry may also be able to increase energy production by using the gases from pyrolysis through a cogeneration process. Looking at the future, the sector has been investing in innovation to, in the mid-long term, offer bio-oils and 2nd generation ethanol which may contribute mostly for transportation industry – road and aviation. The forest carbon has an innate role at circular economy and provides renewable services and products, especially bioenergy. Keywords: Climate change, Value chain, Innovation ID: 3487071 -

No results found.This is the report of the Regional Expert Consultation on Selection Criteria and Priority Rating for Assistance to Traditional Biomass Energy Using Industries, held in Malaysia in January 1996. Traditional biomass energy using industries play an important if not vital role in local economies in many countries in the region by providing local employment as well as making use of local available raw materials. However, at the same time many of these traditional biomass energy-using industries are facing many constraints. This is basically caused by the use of outdated technologies, problems with obtaining credits, invest capital as well as problems with getting assistance and advice from relevant support organizations. Extensive discussions of which the results are described in this report in the form of selection criteria to be used for the selection of those industries which should receive priority for further assistance. These consist of 5 main rural based industries/activities e. g. the brick and rooftile industries, lime burning, the tobacco and sugar industries as well as charcoal making including briquetting and wood drying. Summaries of country statements as well as papers prepared by resource persons give an overview of the status of rural based biomass energy using industries in the regions as well as an overview of potential options for and available support mechanisms/systems for this sector of the industry. Conclusions and recommendations are given which fo cus on mechanisms which can be used for selecting industries as well as the need to improve the database of the sector and for more cooperation and coordination among local organizations as well as international organizations.
