INTRODUCTION

Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy Since 2004 International CMO Business Biomass and 2008 Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy S.A. specializing in the renewable energy and energy efficient biomass. Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy has a strong business association with network international partners who bring deep and broad experience to the renewable energy sector. In 2008 started the project to export wood chips and pellets to the international market. Today operates directly in the Brazilian market and also with partners in Chile, Uruguay and Argentina exporting to the European market and the Asian Premium Wood chips and pellets. Vision. Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy a global renewable energy company to export and biomass (wood chips and pellets) to the international market. Mission. Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy mission is to be a sustainable and environmentally adapted producer fuel, electricity, heat and biomass through solutions for waste management a renewable energy and energy efficiency. Strategy. Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy primary market segment is biomass and wood chips, pellets or agro pellets. Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy focuses on the process, project and financing of the plant Centre Processing Biomass south Brazil. Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy will use proven and efficient technical solutions leveraging upon the knowledge base and existing implementations in Brazil, Portugal and United States. At we pride ourselves on our innovative approach, backed by a straight forward business model and a proven ability to identify and realize valuable opportunities. The benefit to the environment is significant. Our goal is to make this year the Brazilian authorities for the project to convert the waste as a matter of generating energy and for carbon credits (more info www.internationalrenewablesenergy.com). EUBIA, the European Biomass Industry Association, was established in 1996 as an international non profit association in Brussels, Belgium. It groups together market forces, technology providers, and knowledge centres, all of them active in the field of biomass. I am writing to you on behalf of the European Biomass Industry Association and we would be interested in developing an international partnership with the International Business Biomass. European Biomass Industry Association Renewable Energy Brussels Belgium Renewable heat and power generation. Biomass boilers and CHP has a large potential to reduce both cost and CO2 emissions compared to gas and fired units. Market International: Tapping a long history of efficient, and increasingly renewable, district heating involving combined heat and power generation, many industrial and domestic activities could become substantially more efficient and sustainable. Projects: The company is currently involved in a feasibility study for a medium size CHP facility fuelled with wood chips and wood pellets in Centre Biomass South Brazil. Other biomass options include agricultural byproducts, wood pellets and recovered biogas (methane). Co-firing renewable and fossil fuels is also possible. Clearly renewable biomass “clean” energy is the only viable way forward for a sustainable world.

Reducing reliance on fuel will help to slow down the effects and will help to adapt better to changes in the future. future. fossil--fuel emissions in the US will 1. According to a report by the Department of Energy, stringent targets to reduce fossil cause energyenergy-intensive industries, including steel, iron, chemical, rubber and plastic, to flee from the developed countries to undeveloped undeveloped countries, taking with them hundreds of thousands of jobs. one--fifth of the population. The poor, 2. Carbon taxes will cause relatively large income losses in the poorest one because they spend a greater proportion of their income on necessities, would have few ways to cut back to compensate for higher living costs. 3. Stabilizing emissions at 1990 levels by 2010 would reduce the growth of US per capita income by 5% per year. 4. Senior citizens on fixed incomes would find their energy costs escalating and their income dwindling.
