Suzano is a large Brazilian pulp and paper producer that has significantly increased its production capacity over the last five years. It is now exploring opportunities in renewable energy from biomass. Suzano sees an opportunity to supply wood pellets to European utilities looking to increase their use of renewable sources. Suzano has extensive forestry research and development capabilities that have continuously improved forest yields and clones over decades, giving it a strong competitive advantage in the biomass energy business through its ability to produce high density, high yield energetic forests optimized for energy production.

"Strategy for Economization & Resource Efficiency in Decentralized Energy Sol...Snehashis Sarkar
"Strategy for Economization & Resource Efficiency in Decentralized Energy Solutions for Communities" by Snehashis, Climate Change & Environmental Core Competency Cell (C2-E-C3), IIFM presented in ASSOCHAM International Conference - "Climate Change: Business Sustainability & Society", Nov 11, 2008
Resource Efficiency - The new watchword of sustainabilityRamon Arratia
There’s a growing global consensus that we’re at a crossroads on the environment. Not only do we face the increasingly urgent challenge of climate change, but we are also witnessing unprecedented demands on energy and fuel, water and material resource scarcity, huge population and life expectancy growth, concerns about food security, and a growing consumerism in the East that is putting an added strain on the global store of raw materials.
Resource productivity improvements could satisfy nearly 30% of demand by 2030.
Recent rises in global GDP and inroads into tackling poverty have largely been achieved by increasing economic growth. But the resource- dependent models that have allowed this to happen can no longer be sustained. In the past, increases in productivity have often come through more efficient use of labour, but the opportunity for further gains here is limited. To continue to make progress we need to squeeze more out of the resources at our disposal.
‘Resource efficiency’ will become the new watchword of sustainability. Accenture and the World Economic Forum recently produced a report looking at how to make consumption more sustainable by decoupling growth from environmental impact. They suggested that $2 trillion manufacturers of products that worth of economic output could be at risk by 2030 if major global economies fail to respond to shortages in the supply of just one resource - iron (and, more importantly, the steel that comes from it). This demonstrates the scale of the challenge we are up against. Accenture and the WEF conclude that ‘the need for rapid action to shift towards a resource-efficient economy is high’ - and that despite some successes to date, ‘change is now. More positively, greater resource efficiency also creates a business opportunity; it improves productivity, reduces costs and enhances competitiveness. If companies are less dependent on the availability of certain raw materials, they are less vulnerable to supply fluctuations and hikes in prices. This in turn means they can offer customers a more reliable supply of their products.

La Huella de Carbono es un concepto que se ha abierto paso con gran fuerza los últimos años, ya que cada día son más las empresas y organismos públicos a nivel nacional e internacional que realizan su transición hacia un modelo de gestión baja en carbono, esto exige ir más allá de la forma habitual de gestionar, obliga a colaborar con los proveedores para calcular sus emisiones, evaluar cuántos GEI (gases de efecto invernadero) se han generado en el ciclo de vida y sobre todo valorar las fuentes de emisiones asociadas a los diferentes productos y actividades.

100520 fluidization past and future, plenary by horio at fluidization xiiiMasayuki Horio
The lecture consists of two parts:
1. Introduction of my recent activity at JST-RISTEX on community based activities against global warming
2. Historical perspective of fluidization science and engineering
In the latter a unique discussion was attempted on the structure of nature (existing things) and the 3 stage law in paradigm shift in scientific research. The history of fluidization research was then analysed in terms of the three stage law.

6. In the Biomass for Energy business, Suzano has a strong value
proposition to utilities, especially in the EU.
Biomass for Energy – Suzano’s Value Proposition
Reliability:
– Large European utilities are very focused in renewable targets.
– Biomass will play an important role in the transition to a “greener”
energy mix.
– Utilities will need solid suppliers. Having its own forests and being a
strong cash flow generator, Suzano is able to provide large scale, long
term contracts to utilities.
Energy Mindset:
– Since Suzano’s plan is to have forests dedicated to energy, it becomes
a real player in the international energy market.
Applied technology:
– Through forestry technology Suzano will be able to keep improving its
genetic material towards more energy-dense biomass.
