Always aligned with a responsible sustainability model, valuing the correct use of natural resources, in order to reduce impacts on the environment, SINOBRAS Florestal, a company of the Aço Cearense Group, acquired another farm for the renewable planting of eucalyptus, to increase its production of bioenergy reducer (charcoal), which supplies Siderúrgica Norte Brasil SA – SINOBRAS.
The new farm, covering 10,323 hectares, is located in the municipality of Ananás, Tocantins, and is now part of the forestry assets of SINOBRAS Florestal, which already had 15 farms in the municipalities of Araguatins and São Bento do Tocantins, Tocantins. With the acquisition, Grupo Aço Cearense now has 16 eucalyptus farms, totaling 35,531 hectares of its own.
According to Juliane Ellem Costa, Manager of SINOBRAS Florestal, a new farm has a very positive impact on both industrial production and environmental preservation. "This acquisition strengthens our sustainability and represents an increase in our timber production capacity for the manufacture of bioenergy reducers. It also means expanding the conservation area, contributing to the preservation of the region's flora and fauna," she explains.
SINOBRAS Florestal has 46 rectangular furnaces that mitigate environmental impacts and produce the bioenergy reducer used by SINOBRAS, a steel mill located in Marabá, Pará. It generates approximately 200 direct jobs, and during planting, additional employees are added to seasonal operations.
