Bracell, a leader in dissolving pulp and specialty cellulose, has made strides in sustainability. In its recent report, the company revealed it removed 6 million tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere between 2020 and 2025. This success highlights its commitment to a low-carbon future.
In just 2025, they successfully removed 3.4 million tons of CO₂. Of this, 1.8 million tons came from their planted forests, while 1.6 million tons came from preserved native areas. Bracell aims to remove 25 million tons of CO₂ by 2030 under its “Bracell 2030” plan, showcasing the growing effectiveness of its forests.
A key component of their strategy is the use of flux towers. These towers measure carbon and water vapor exchanges between plants and the air. They provide vital data on CO₂ concentration, temperature, and humidity. This information helps improve understanding of ecosystem dynamics and guides decisions for climate action.
Márcio Nappo, Vice President of Sustainability at Bracell, emphasized the importance of precise carbon measurements. “By integrating science and technology with responsible forest management, we can create real climate value,” he explained.
Bracell doesn’t just collect data; they use advanced statistical models to enhance the credibility of their carbon storage estimates. This approach, combined with real-time data from the flux towers, allows for more accurate forest planning and reporting.
In a world where climate change is a growing concern, Bracell’s efforts are significant. Studies show that reducing CO₂ is essential in mitigating global warming. According to the latest data from the Global Carbon Project, emissions from fossil fuels reached nearly 36.4 billion tons in 2022. This underscores the urgency of projects like Bracell’s.
Bracell’s mission aligns with the global goal of fostering a sustainable bioeconomy. As they invest in monitoring technologies and expand their forest base, they’re not just benefiting Brazil but also contributing to the fight against climate change on a larger scale.
