About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Major upgrade and modernization of Line 2 at the Guaíba pulp mill in Brazil, including installation of a new high-power biomass recovery boiler, upgrades across process islands, and shutdown of the coal-fired boiler. The project encompasses 31 environmental control, management, and operational modernization initiatives, increasing annual production capacity by approximately 350,000 tonnes while significantly reducing emissions through fuel switching and efficiency improvements. Evidence: "Um dos destaques da cerimônia desta segunda-feira foi o ato simbólico de desligamento definitivo da caldeira a carvão que funcionava no local. Uma nova caldeira de recuperação, funcionando a base de biomassa, já opera em seu lugar. ... a empresa projeta diminuir as emissões de gases de efeito estufa na planta de Guaíba em até 60% do total anterior." — https://gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br/economia/noticia/2024/12/com-investimento-de-r-275-bilhoes-cmpc-inaugura-operacao-mais-sustentavel-de-sua-planta-em-guaiba-cm478ej08003c015qaev6asnp.html
