BNDES finances an energy efficiency project from the Cooperativa Agraria Agroindustrial

09/18/2024 Since 5 months

The Cooperativa Agraria Agroindustrial, operating in the Brazilian State of Parana with 728 members and an annual grain production of 932 thousand tons (mainly soybeans, corn, wheat and barley), has received financing for an amount in local currency equivalent to 8.2 million dollars from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), through its Climate Fund, for the replacement of its current wood-burning boiler with a more modern and sustainable one based on agroindustrial waste.

Additionally, the project includes a fine-cereal waste storage silos with 500 tons capacity, and a reception and milling system. It is estimated that the modernization will allow for greater energy efficiency and lower operating costs, avoiding 582 tons of CO2 per year.
