Renewable Biomass Fuel Switch

Description: The project activity consists in the utilization of açai seeds and sawdust to feed the kilns of two small ceramic production sites, which previously used native wood from the Amazon. The main goal of this project activity is to minimize the negative impacts of the deforestation of the Amazonian biome by offering viable alternatives to the exploitation of native firewood to local businesses. By reducing the deforestation in the Amazonian biome, the project preserves the forest’s status as a “carbon reserve”
