for GHG inventories.
In 2022, there was an increase in emissions Primarily
as a result of a change in the methane correction
factor (MCF) from 0.5 to 0.7-in the GHG Protocol
tool for waste disclosures. Consumption of nitro-
genous fertilizers, soil amendments and fuels also
increased. GRI 305-5

To improve our environmental performance, Eldo-
rado Brasil seeks to remain within operational limits
that are more restrictive than those required by Bra-
zilian legislation. Since our founding, we have used
biomass to fuel the boiler at the power plant. With
the recent completion of our Onça Pintada power
plant, our generation capacity and the consumption
of biomass have increased. Eldorado Brasil is cur-
rently conducting assessments on the use of rene-
wable, less polluting fuels, including haulage vehicle
retrofits from diesel to natural gas, and purchasing
gas-fueled and hybrid vehicles. SASB RR-RP-110a.2
Our greenhouse gas emissions inventory, a one-
-point source of information about our emissions
performance, is internally audited and in 2022 was
subject to an external audit in accordance with the
GHG Protocol. Our inventory was awarded Gold
reporting status, the highest reporting status under
the within the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. The
inventory was assured by a a firm certified to ISO
1406 by Inmetro, confirming that the inventory
data was collected and compiled in accordance
with good practices and data monitoring and
reporting. We are also preparing to implement an
