The city of Imbituba (Santa Catarina, Brazil) offers favorable elements for a positiveoutcome and an important impact of the Project Center Biomass Brazil, namely: a) Large availabilityof residual and virgin biomass; b) Technological know-how and experience in new technologies; c)Industrialization associated with strong energy demand; d) Favorable conditions for the installationof Center Biomass Brazil.

The project focuses on the city of Imbituba in the southern Brazil state of Sant Catarina and apopulation of 39,000 people accompanied by pronounced environmental sensitivity, which offersseveral local factors providing a favourable round for a positive outcome and an important impact of

the Project, namely: The area is typically industrial, having 20,000 people employed in the industry,out of which 12.5 % work in the wood and furniture sector, that produces residual, mainlycontaminated biomass, with high energy content.

The administration of the port has been receiving a lot of investment. In the future the Braziliangovernment wishes to invest a lot of money to transform the port into one of the most important portsin Brazil. The intense residential housing, combined with a rather extreme climate offers numeroushomogeneous and delimited areas exhibiting favourable parameters for the implementation of districtheating systems.

The virgin biomass is partly utilized as raw material for different products (compost, particle boards).The available biomass needs to be classified and selected and properly utilized for energy production.

The integration with biomass sources can improve the efficiency and economy of the production andstimulate the complete expansion of the system.

1. Introduction1. Introduction1. Introduction1. Introduction

Promoting a diversity of renewable energy generating resources in Santa Catarina is good energy policyfor a state that has an electricity system heavily dependent on hydropower and increasingly dependenton fossil fuels. Because some renewable energy fuels are freely accessible and others are not subject tofossil fuel price swings, they help stabilize electric rates. They contribute to a healthy electric powerinfrastructure. Similarly, developing a biofuels industry in Brazil will help reduce our dependence onpetroleum for transportation.

As importantly, developing the states renewable energy resources, related manufacturing and researchand development presents a huge economic opportunity, particularly in rural parts of the state whereeconomic development can be most challenging. Investments stay in Brazil, creating jobs and growing a

second crop for farmers, ranchers and forest landowners. Finally, renewable energy is an investment inthe environment by displacing the use of fossil fuel generation and avoiding numerous pollutants andglobal warming gases.

The energy conversion projects from biomass can be classified as priority ones for the object of arational and efficient use of biomass in a Sustainable Energy System, both at Brazil level, but theirdevelopment is hindered by considerable barriers, deriving from the complexity of their numerouscomponents, such as: Collection, transport and storage system for biomass of different classes (virginand residual). Energy conversion plant of moderate capacity, subject to new and strict regulatory ruleswith respect to environmental impact.

Specifically, the impact of the Project can be broadly referred to several contents: a) Presentation of thelegislative and regulations framework in a new and complex sector such as biomass utilization, withreference to the specific prescriptions. b) Rationalization of the biomass market and selection of thebiomass which can be conveniently utilized, within the specific context of Sant Catarina. c)Identification of efficient, proven and economic technologies for biomass transformation, and selectionof the optimum models in the framework of biomass availability and of heat demand. d) Example of territorial investigation and planning of district heating systems, presentation of methodologies andresults in real conditions, in order to disseminate the knowledge, identify opportunities in the area andstimulate the application in similar areas. e) Reduction of the emissions and improvement of theenvironmental impact of the energy sector as a whole.f) Evaluation of the viability conditions for someactual cases, in terms of technical, environmental and economic aspects, singling out benefits, limits,constraints and barriers.

The biomass utilization may provide the following impact with respect to standards: 1. Increase of thelocal market of biomass as a fuel. 2. Push towards a modernization of the Brazilian regulations relevantto the plants for combustion of fossil fuel, that even today foresee the compulsory adoption of the openexpansion vessel, with an overall increase of the construction costs and sometimes decrease of theefficiency of the energy conversion process. 3. Push towards the development of rules and standards forthe determination of the avoided CO2 emissions and the saving of fossil fuel, in view of the applicationof the Kyoto protocol and of the titles of energy efficiency. 4. Making the region as a national center forthe export of biomass in the form of wood chips to meet the high demand internationally. This project vaidirectly benefit the local community with the generation of thousands of jobs and support theentrepreneurs of Forestry with a new alternative to implement their business. It is a pioneer project inBrazil and must have international support.

Santa Catarina has long been one of the nations Brazilian leaders in encouraging renewable energy resources.

Among the benefits of renewable energy for the state: A net increase of 250 new jobs with each $50 millioninvestment in renewable energy resources Additions to the rural tax base and opportunities for local economicdevelopment. Income diversification in rural areas, which helps preserve family farms and ranches. Using forest residues to produce energy can improve forest health, reduce wildfire risk and fire suppression costs, andreduce overall smoke emissions from forestland burning. Clean transportation fuels can come from SantaCatarina farm and forest products, instead of from out-of-state sources. Generating energy from waste gas at

dairies, landfills and sewage treatment plants can reduce environmental liabilities and provide another revenuesource for businesses and communities. Renewable resources help insulate from volatile fossil-fuel prices. Using renewable energy resources reduces air pollution, thereby reducing health care costs and limiting theimpact of likely stricter federal emission standards in the future. A healthy environment helps attract and retainbusinesses and is also very important to the tourist industry.

Fossil fuels pose significant risks when considering the availability and price. Readily available energy at anaffordable price is essential for the manufacturing, agricultural, transportation, retail, and indeed all sectors of Santa Catarina economy. It is prudent that we diversify our investments and allocate a greater portion torenewable resources. By focusing our efforts on renewable energy markets, Santa Catarina will better protectitself from the volatility of the wholesale electricity and natural gas markets. It is essential that we act now to laythe foundation for accelerated renewable energy development that will sustain Santa Catarina progress.Developing renewable resources reduces major health risks through reduced air, land, and water pollution.Adverse effects of global warming on weather and climate can be mitigated by reduced CO2 emissions.

Economic Development and Job Creation. Santa Catarina expect their basic needs to be met. They expect theState of Santa Catarina to plan for and develop an environment that produces social and economic benefits thatmeet current and future needs, while preserving and restoring the health of the natural environment. Investmentsin renewable energy result in a net increase in jobs. For every $50 million in investments in renewable energy,about 250 full time equivalent jobs are created.

The Plans goal is to encourage and accelerate the sustainable production of energy from renewable sources,stimulate economic development, particularly in rural parts of the state, and improve the environmental future of the state. The Plan intends to demonstrate a variety of technologies for tapping renewable resources, and to helpremove barriers to renewable resource development.

4.4.4.4. BiomassBiomassBiomassBiomass

Currently, there are biomass combustion boilers at more than industrial sites in Santa Catarina. These boilerssupply heat and energy for industrial processes. New biomass energy markets may provide a way of disposing of otherwise problematic forest biomass residues from timber harvests, stand improvement activities, fuelstreatments, and thinning in a cost-effective manner. Agricultural and urban biomass wastes (extracted frommunicipal solid wastes) can also be utilized as fuel for energy facilities.

The lack of certainty in biomass outputs and the high cost of gathering and transporting forest and other biomassto an energy conversion facility continue to be barriers to economic biomass energy development. However,investments in forest and other biomass conversion to energy will lead to multiple environmental, economic, andsocial benefits. These include: reduced wildfire risks to communities and wildfire suppression costs to taxpayers increased timber supplies improved forest health, water quality, wildlife habitat, and recreation areas reduced air pollution from wildfire and prescribed forest. extended landfill life with recovery of biomass reduced and avoided carbon dioxide emissions, and maintenance of family-wage jobs and a forest industryinfrastructure in rural Santa Catarina.

Biomass facilities may need a production-based tax credit in addition to the fuel cost reduction incentives to beeconomically viable. Such combined incentives would be a reflection of the full realm of societal benefits asoutlined above.
