The partner mills of Copersucar, the world’s largest sugar and ethanol company, reached an unprecedented milestone on May 24, with 5.2 million decarbonization credits (CBios). The outcome is due to the company’s successful organization and great commitment to sustainability, accounting for 15.4% of carbon credits issued in the RenovaBio program since 2020. The result is comparable to 36.4 million trees growing for 20 years. For Luís Roberto Pogetti, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Copersucar, this result confirms the adherence of the company’s partners to the decarbonization program established by the National Biofuels Policy (RenovaBio). “The management of environmental indicators carried out by Copersucar and its associates has highlighted the role of ethanol in fighting climate change. With more control of the product’s life cycle, Copersucar has been able to improve the energy-environmental efficiency ratings (NEEA) of its mills, thus expanding the supply of CBios to the market”, he said.
