Bracell, a Brazilian producer of dissolving pulp, says it reduced carbon emissions intensity by 47% between 2020 and 2025, reaching 0.257 tons of CO2 equivalent per ton of pulp. The company is targeting a 75% cut by 2030, which would bring that figure down to 0.122 tCO2e/adt. Its Camaçari mill in Bahia also installed a new cooking line in October 2025 that lowers steam demand during pulp production. Around 90% of the energy used at the industrial unit comes from renewable sources. Bracell also reports progress on carbon removal, with roughly 6 million tons of CO2 equivalent removed in the first five years of a program aimed at 25 million tons by 2030. In 2025, it removed 3.4 million tons, mostly through planted eucalyptus forests and preserved native vegetation. The company has received the Gold Seal of Brazil's GHG Protocol Program for four consecutive years. It also monitors air emissions such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and particulate matter at Camaçari, with results consistently below legal limits. The update covers Bracell's operations in Bahia, São Paulo, and Mato Grosso do Sul.
