Innovation and
efficiency in the sector
In the 2019/2020 crop year we
pushed ahead with our master plan
for digital industry involving the
implementation of 4.0 technologies for
higher productivity. We have expanded
advanced control to the extraction
and crushing sectors by consolidating
real-time simulation phases.
The Fermentação + Viva Program for
employee awareness and engagement
in adopting good practices for high-
performance fermentation was broken
down into details of eight fronts with
opportunities for improvement.
We developed a personalized
fermented sugarcane juice for
Atvos, enabling us to guarantee the
multiplication of the vertical and
greater operational continuity of the
process. Besides efficiency gains, there
was a reduction in the downtime of
the crushing process.
Another highlight was the evolution
in extraction, particularly at the mills.
Since 2014, in the sugarcane juice
extraction process we have used
high drainage sleeve technology on
the mill rollers, which has afforded
us consolidated efficiency gains
in extracting the juice, reducing
the humidity of the bagasse and,
consequently, the export of electricity.
Logistics
At Atvos, the ethanol and sugar
produced in our agroindustrial units
are transported in safe manner. This is
made possible by using a multimodal
operating strategy (road, rail and
pipelines), and we are striving to
optimize quality in delivery to clients.
In the 2019/2020 crop year, facing
cash generation challenges, we
increased our sales volume by
concentrating on a given period,
supported by our logistics process,
especially through the strong
relationships we have built up with our
partners in recent years.
Certifications
Our products are certified to the most
important standards of the
sugar-
ethanol sector, such as the International
Renewable Energy Certificates, which
qualifies us to issue and sell I-RECs to
the market. Each I-REC is equivalent
to 1 MWh of electricity produced
from renewable sources. We have
the capacity to sell, every crop year,
360,000 I-RECs through our Conquista
do Pontal Unit (UCP).
Our other units display the seal of
provably clean and renewable energy,
Energia Verde (Green Energy) awarded
by the Sugarcane Industry Union
(UNICA). In addition, the UCP at the
Polo São Paulo Hub is certified by
BonsucroTM, the international standard
based on social and environmental
criteria for the production of
sugarcane, as well as the International
Sustainability and Carbon
Certification (ISCC), a global initiative
for supply chain sustainability.
We also comply with the requirements
of the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for ethanol production,
which grants certification within the
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2)
Program in which we have five units¹;
and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard
(LCFS) program run by the California
Air Resources Board (CARB)2, which
fosters actions for controlling
atmospheric pollution and fighting
climate change, for which two of our
units have qualified.
1. Conquista do Pontal, Santa Luzia, Alto Taquari,
Rio Claro and Morro Vermelho Units.
2. Conquista do Pontal and Alto Taquari Units.
