São Judas Tadeu Fuel Switching Project
Description: In Brazil, the contribution to global warming is produced less by the burning of fossil fuels and more by deforestation. The project activity consists in switching fuel from native wood to rice husk to feed the kilns of a ceramic industry. Rice husks are an abundant biomass in the region, since the state of Tocantins is the sixth largest producer of rice in Brazil. In the absence of the project activity, the biomass residues were left to decay in open dump sites, leading to considerable methane emissions.
