Renewable energy - Brazil
How will we use the money you spend to offset your CO2? Here's a small sample of the types of projects your money could help to support.
Renewable energy - Brazil
This project uses a by-product from sugar-cane production (bagasse) to generate electricity.
How it works
The sugar-cane mill has invested to increase the efficiency of sugar and alcohol production, while also boosting the efficiency of burning bagasse. The system relies on modern turbo generators and pressure boilers.
The mill transfers the electricity it produces to the Brazilian national grid. This reduces the need for energy produced by fossil-fuelled power plants, at the same time reducing CO2 emissions.
