Presentation Transcript

  1. PROPOSED PROJECT • Objective: • To make charcoal from sustainably managed planations a viable alternative to coal/coke in pig iron production • Project: • 23,100 ha of FSC certified fuelwod plantations on degraded pasture or old plantation lands: (3,300 ha x 7 years); • Cerrado forest ecosystem rehabilitation: 478 ha • Improved Charcoal production (reducing methane, and local air pollution from condensable oils/tars, and particulates) • Charcoal displacing Coal/Coke in Blast Furnace Pig iron production

  2. Estimated Core Proposal ERs

  3. Certifiable Additional Benefits • Biodiversity: restoration of endangered ‘cerrado’ ecosystem • Reduction in atmospheric pollution • Respiratory health of charcoal workers

  4. Baseline Approach for Plantar • Fuel-Switching Component • Scenario analysis based on historical trends • Investment constraints (most plausible approach is not financable without carbon) • Charcoal Production Emissions Reductions • Control group of 10 peers in pig iron industry; included in MVP for revalidation (>50% rule) • “Cerrado” Rehabilitation • Scenario analysis based on historical trends • Investment analysis (if needed)

  5. Annexed Slides

  6. Traditional Brazilian Brick Beehive Kiln used in about 90% of Brazilian charcoal operations Efficiency: about 4m3 wood for 1m3 Charcoal

  7. Improved Brazilian Brick Kiln: < 2m3 wood to 1m3 charcoal (considered to constitute a baseline for the production improvement component of the project)

  8. Advanced Brazilian Beehive Kiln collects tars and pyrolytic oils in smoke – minimizes local air pollution. Efficiency: better than 2m3 wood per m3 charcoal

  9. CARBON STORED IN THE PLANTATION • The chart below shows the accumulated carbon in one ha of forest, in the various parts of the tree, through three harvesting cycles.
