Combio Renewable Biomass Project - Três Marias

The project activity consists in promoting the fuel switching in the operation of Nexa, a metallurgical company, which is primarily geared toward the zinc production located at the municipality of Três Marias, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The fuel switching was carried out by ComBio Energia S.A., a company that has as main activity the production and distribution of steam, hot water and air conditioning. The implementation of this project activity has the objective of drastically reduce the use of BPF oil and substitutes it by renewable biomasses to generate steam that sustain the production, with the intention of minimizing environmental impacts including the reduction of GHG emissions. In the absence of the project, the average amount of BPF oil that would be utilized would be around 23,024 tonnes/year.
