Biomass and Renew able 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.

Brazil Biomass has been exporting to China and New Zealand or Turkey and has a highly regarded reputation and excellent customer relationships throughout the pulp and paper industry.

The Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy mission is to production biomass wood chips and cooperate in the development of projects through sustainable solutions to waste management for a renewable energy and energy efficiency by biomass. Biomass boilers and CHP has a large potential to reduce both cost and CO2 emissions compared to gas and fired units.

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.

The purpose of the Brazil Biomass and Renewable Energy Exports Biomass is to provide information on the various options of biomass utilisation for renewable energy production. It aims to facilitate information transfer between producers and users of biomass energy in order to increase the use of biomass energy. Brazil, being a tropical country, has tremendous potential for energy generation. In Brazil, biomass energy is being utilized mainly for domestic, commercial and industrial applications.

INTRODUCTION

The globalisation of different sides of human practice nowadays sets on the first line the problem of transboundary pollution. Industrial contamination of water, soil, air can be dangerous for the wasted region overcoming the boundaries of on estate. Therefore, the measures for avoiding transboundary pollution will contribute to maintain and create better environmental conditions for a considerable area. One of the main air pollutants is the emission of exhausted gases from the transport and municipal central-heating plants. The use of fossil fuels in these branches pollutes air mainly by sulphur oxides (SOt) and carbon oxides (CO and C02). The distribution of polluting gases is represented in million tons of sulphur oxides and dioxide or nitrogen oxides and carbon were emitted because of combustion of fossil fuels. The share of sulphuroxides emitted by Thermoelectric Power Plants is 85.1 %, by household heating -10.1 %, by the industry 4.2 % and by transport - 0.64%. Pollution with sulphur oxides contributes to increasing the acid rains and pollution with carbon oxides - for the greenhouse effect. Both have an impact on global climate. One of the ways to decrease their effect is the substitution of fossil fuels by renewable energy sources (RES). The position of the European Union in this direction is maintained by different Associations and among them - The European Biomass Association (AEBIOM). In the White Paper for RES1 the main EU strategies to achieve the goals of Kyoto Agreement are defined. One of them is that the Member States should encourage the increase of RES according to their own potential with the aim of increasing the share of renewable energies to 12 % of the total energy demand of the European Union

Global warming is thought to be caused mainly by the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), with thermoelectric power plants being responsible for about 7% of global CO2 emissions. Biomass can reduce CO2 emissions from thermoelectric power plants, but for this use, they must be resistant to the mixture of gases produced by the power plants. The ecological efficiency concept, which evaluates by and large the environmental impact, caused by CO2, SO2, NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions. The combustion gases of the thermoelectric power plants working with natural gas (less pollutant) and diesel (more pollutant) cause problems to the environment, for their components harm the human being life, animals and directly the plants. Brazil Biomass Briquetting: Briquetting: involves application of pressure and high temperature to convert loose solid material into a compact and agglomerate forms by compressing biomass particles in a mould to produce briquettes. Wood and agro wastes are used in the production of briquettes. Brazil Biomass Pelleting: is a technological process by which loose material is subjected to pressure and high temperature (lower than in the briquetting process) thus increasing its density and reducing volume. Pellets are used as an energy fuel and as feed. Brazil Biomass Wood chips Energy Production: is based on the processing of forestry residues (branches, stumps, etc.). Wood chips is combusted in the boiler houses burners.

BIOMASS AND 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.

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 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. Pollution by particles is one of the most dangerous air pollutants approximately 64 million Americans are affected directly, putting their health at risk.

WOOD BRAZIL BIOMASS Brazil is the largest country in South America. Approximately 2.3 million square kilometers -- 27 percent of Brazil’s total area of 8.5 million square kilometers -- can be considered "frontier" forest. Brazil's frontier forests comprise 17 percent of the world's remaining frontiers, making it the third highest ranked country in terms of remaining frontier forest. Brazil has the third largest block of remaining frontier forest in the world and ranks first in plant biodiversity among frontier forest nations.

Much of the raw materials Brazil Biomass we use for biomass comes from certified forests. FSC promotes forest sustainability by evaluating the company’s forest management practices considering economic viability, ecological integrity and social justice.

BRAZIL BIOMASS PREMIUM WOOD CHIPS EUCALYPTUS 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. Wood Chip is readily available and cheaper than mains gas and oil. Wood Chip is a renewable energy source.

BRAZIL BIOMASS PELLETS BRAZIL PELLETS PINUS 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.

BRAZIL BIOMASS PELLETS BAGASSE SUGAR CANE High quality wood pellets are pellets which can be used in both small and large boilers without problems and only produce a minimum of ash. To meet these requirements pellets (of 6 mm or 8 mm in diameter) should be made from pure and untreated wood without bark and without use of additives. The European technical specification CEN/TS 14961 Solid biofuels – Fuel specifications and classes also states. The European specification CEN/TS 14961 gives a list of standards or technical specifications for the determination of chemical and physical fuel properties. In order to e.g. compare different wood pellets offered on the market, it is important that specified values of fuel properties are comparable. For example, CEN/TS 14961 specifies the method described in CEN/TS 14775 for determination of ash content. By this method the ash content is determined by heating a sample to 550°C under specified conditions, and the obtained result is not necessarily co mparable to results reached by other methods (as e.g. international or national coal standards using 815°C). Recommendations for high quality wood pellets bagasse sugar cane cf. CEN/TS 14961. What is a high quality Pellet Bagasse Sugar Cane.

BRAZIL BIOMASS PORT IMBITUBA, SANTA CATARINA Our co mpany operates directly in the port of Imbituba, Santa Catarina. The Port has structure for the export of wood chips. We present some photos of Porto. The Port of Imbituba is located in coastal southern state of Santa Catarina to about 90 km from the capital Florianopolis. In addition, with two hits paved, one north and one south, the port of Imbituba is connected to the BR-101, one of the most important highways of the country, allowing the displacement accessible to all regions of Brazil and the Mercosur countries . The current draft of the port is 9.63 meters with tide average of 0.50 meters, enough to receive vessels of oil and other cargoes between 35,000 to 40,000 tones considering a tide of 1 meter, the draft of Port is 10.13.

BRAZIL BIOMASS CARBON CREDIT BIOMASS BRAZIL Much of the raw materials we use for biomass comes from forests certified. Sustainable forestry practices and care management plans for economic viability, ecological integrity and social justice. We use 100% of forest 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. The use of the entire production chain from the tree, even a part for commerce and energy potential of biomass of forest residues in the co-generation of energy is a practice widely accepted within the CDM and markets volunteers, taking an important role in reducing emissions from fossil fuels recognized and accepted around the world. Power er Plant of the Forestry Production of Wood Chips and Reference Design for Reduced Emissions from the Use of Waste Pow biomass. 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 increase of greenhouse effect with the consequent increase in the destruction of the ozone layer. With that attitude more the company strengthens its commitment to environmental preservation.

BRAZIL BIOMASS World energy problems. Consumption of energy dependent on fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas). Finite reserves of fossil fuels and high prices. The increase in consumption will continue (United States, China and India). Serious environmental and economic consequences from the use of fossil fuels and emission of greenhouse gases. Kyoto Protocol signed in 1997. Objectives of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Adoption of common policies to reduce CO2 emissions Biomass - Renewable Energy. The content of carbon emitted during combustion of biomass was previously captured the atmosphere in a short time period - balance = zero balance. Strategic options of Brazil Biomass and International: Solutions for the supply of fuel from renewable sources, the international market or the national market for co-generation of energy. Conversion of liabilities of carbon emissions in assets with economic recovery emissions avoided. Processing of forest biomass for sale to international customers. Installation of energy crops for production of biomass for commercial purposes and co-generation of energy. Minimizing the costs of disposal of waste from logging operations and its use as a product. Valuation of property and renewable energy products. Options used by Brazil Biomass and International.
