ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL S.A. Goals and Initiatives
Santa Catarina has long been one of the nation’
nation’s Brazilian leaders in encouraging renewable energy resources. Among the benefits of
renewable energy for the state: • Using forest residues to produce energy can improve forest health, health, reduce wildfire risk and fire
suppression costs, and reduce overall smoke emissions from forestland
fores tland burning. • Generating energy from waste gas at dairies, landfills
and sewage treatment plants can reduce environmental liabilities and provide another revenue source for businesses and communities.
communities. •
Renewable resources help insulate from volatile fossil-
fossil-fuel prices. • Using renewable energy resources reduces air pollution, thereby
reducing health care costs and limiting the impact of likely stricter
stricter federal emission standards in the future. • A healthy environment
helps attract and retain businesses and is also very important toto the tourist industry.

2. The Benefits of Renewable Energy Resources. Fossil fuels pose significant risks when considering the availability
availability and price. Readily
available energy at an affordable price is essential for the manufacturing,
manufacturing, agricultural, transportation, retail, and indeed all sectors of
Santa Catarina economy. It is prudent that we diversify our investments and allocate
allocate a greater portion to renewable resources. By focusing
our efforts on renewable energy markets, Santa Catarina will better protect itself from the volatility of the wholesale electricity and natural
gas markets. It is essential that we act now to lay the foundation
foundation for accelerated renewable energy development that will sustainsustain Santa
Catarina progress. Developing renewable resources reduces major health risks risks through reduced air, land, and water pollution. Adverse
effects of global warming on weather and climate can be mitigated

Santa Catarina to plan for and develop an environment that
produces social and economic benefits that meet current and future future needs, while preserving and restoring the health of the natural

3.Goals and Initiatives. The Plan’

stimulate economic development, particularly in rural parts of the
the state, and improve the environmental future of the state. The Plan
intends to demonstrate a variety of technologies for tapping renewable

4. Biomass. Currently, there are biomass combustion boilers at more than industrial

The main quality criteria for woodchips are: chip size: only the "fine" (smaller than 30 mm) and "medium" grades (below 50 mm)
are suitable for small-
small-scale installations; water content: this determines the energy content content of the fuel on the one hand and its
storability on the other; bulk density: this indicates the weight

shape, degree of compaction and water content. At some stage of the processing the wood chip need to be dried. Different
technologies require different moisture contents and these can range range between 15% wb and 45% wb. wb. Freshly harvested green
wood can, depending on species, have a moisture content of up to 59%. As a guide, for efficient combustion a woodchip should

words, from the photosynthesis, forests absorb the existing CO2 in the atmosphere, store the carbon in biomass and become a source source

METHODS OF EVALUATION. Several methods of deterministic assessment of investments, some some classified as accurate,
within the basic principles, and other incomplete, but are still widely used as a supplementary method for many companies
because of its ease of calculation. In our project business will be used both methods:
Method of Net Present Value (NPV). The method is to bring the present value, discounted the MRI, the the incremental cash

most attractive alternative investment.
Method of Internal Rate of Return (IRR). By definition the Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate to which the NPV of

The progress has been made, the 2010 target of 21 % renewable electricity
electricity for EU corresponding to 22.1 % for EU15 will not be
achieved under current policies and measures. Instead, currently implemented policies will probably result in a share of between
18 % and 19 % in 2010. It has been identified that the main reason reason why the target is not being achieved is because the
production of electricity from biomass has not been as high as initially
initially foreseen.
The United Kingdom is seeking to reduce its carbon footprint to meet its obligations under both the European Union (EU) and the
Kyoto Protocol. The EU has set a goal of reducing energy consumption
consumption in its member states by 20 percent. It also intends to
have biofuels make up 10 percent of all transportation fuels by 2020. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the country has agreed to
reduce its 1990 carbon emissions by 12.5 percent by 2012, and it is on track to meet that goal. Imports will continue to be an
important part of the strategy, especially for transport fuels and

that wood-

Biomass fuel comes from a renewable, sustainable resource base. Fossil fuels will eventually run out, but with proper

indefinitely.

Biomass Wood Chips prices have been stable historically and are not directly linked to national or global energy
markets. Biomass fuels can be expected to increase in price more slowly than competing fuels. Over the last 15-
15-20
years biomass prices have stayed level.

Biomass Wood Chips systems are often capable of giving higher levels
levels of comfort at a lower energy cost. Because
biomass fuels are very inexpensive, many building owners feel they
they can now afford comfortable building temperatures
in winter weather. With higher-
higher-priced conventional fuels, owners often reduce temperatures or reduce
reduce ventilation to
save money.

Future energy taxes, such as a carbon tax or a Btu tax, are less
likely to impact the price of biomass fuels compared to fossil
fuels. In national policy discussions, energy taxes generally
give preference to renewable, locally supplied fuels that do not
lead to global warming.

Biomass has a negligible sulfur content, so its combustion


does not contribute to the atmospheric buildup of oxides of
sulfur (SOx), a cause of acid rain. When biomass is burned for
energy, using wood from sustainable forestry practices, there
is no net increase in the greenhouse gases that cause climate
change when biomass replaces fossil fuels, there is a net
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
