Renewable power co-generation from biomass anchors our sustainable operations, maximizing value across the corn supply chain while reinforcing FS’s leadership in the energy transition. This energy self-sufficiency bolsters our commitment to minimizing environmental impact by directly lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Furthermore, we operate in the Free Electricity Market (ACL) via a dedicated trading desk that manages our energy portfolio across three industrial units and channels surplus renewable power to the grid (approximately 15 average MW/month). This commercialization amplifies our operational environmental benefits and further drives down GHG emissions.
The Lucas do Rio Verde industrial unit is certified to issue Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), guaranteeing the traceability and 100% renewable origin of our exported power. Governed by the internationally recognized I-REC Standard, these certificates are increasingly vital for companies seeking to neutralize emissions linked to their electricity consumption.
For FS, RECs represent an additional lever for sustainable value creation, contributing to increased revenues while supporting our customers in mitigating climate impacts through the use of certified renewable energy.
