With a focus on building a better tomorrow, and
recognizing the major challenges posed by climate
change, Eldorado Brasil has implemented initiatives
to manage and reduce the environmental impacts
from our activities. Learn about these initiatives
below.
Energy
GRI 3-3: management of material topic
Our pulp mill is energy self-sufficient with biomass
generation capabilities using waste materials from
the production process—such as lignin and wood
waste as fuel. The electricity produced on-site is
enough for both the mill and adjacent partner facili-
ties, and the surplus is supplied to the National Grid.
Our Onça Pintada power station produces rene-
wable electricity from waste eucalyptus biomass.
With an installed capacity of 50 MW, the powers-
tation also supplies electricity to the National Grid,
contributing to a greener energy mix.
Due to reduced demand from the National Grid
and scheduled maintenance shutdowns at the mill,
there was a decrease of approximately 50% in bio-
mass consumption for the powerstation and 16%
in the boiler. As a result, biomass-fired generation
output was reduced to 2,300,181.09 GJ. GRI 302-4
In 2022 our operations generated a total of
1,581,000 MWh (including the Onça Pintada power
station), of which 447,000 MWh were sold to partner
chemicals producers (co-located adjacent to the
mill) and 391,000 MWh (including from the Onça
Pintada power station) were sold to the National
Grid, generating R$ 133 million in revenue. Our
energy consumption was 45,123,906.47 GJ in
the year, with 13% source from the grid, 7% from
biomass and 80% from other renewable sources.
Energy consumption from non-renewable sources
increased by 18.17% as a result of the expansion of
our forestry operations and the resulting increase
in diesel in natural gas consumption as fuel.

Onça Pintada
Power Station
The Onça Pintada power station, built in 2021
adjacent to our pulp mill, completed its first full
year of operation in 2022, generating 127,000
MWh and revenue of R$ 86 million. The power
station produces enough electricity for a city with
a population of 700,000 people, and is authorized
to supply electricity to the National Grid.
The facility was the first in Brazil to implement a
breakthrough technology to produce electricity
from waste pulpwood, making our mill process
more efficient and sustainable.
