About this project
Description
The objective of the proposed UNDP/GEF initiative is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the iron and steel sector in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais, by (i) developing and demonstrating enhanced, clean conversion technologies for renewable, biomass-based charcoal production, and (ii) implementing an effective, supportive policy framework. The renewable biomass resources for charcoal production are obtained from existing or new, sustainably-grown eucalyptus plantations.
