Brazil leading CO2 Absorption in Planted Forests

Brazil leads... the world should follow!


What is a Tree? - A video message from Bracelpa, the Brazilian Pulp & Paper Association, to the COP15 (United Nations Climate Change Conference, Copenhagen 2009)

Maybe the time has come to stop seeing one of the best ever made approaches to sustainable forestry as a problem-maker... and start seeing it as a world-leading effort towards sustainable production and one of the most efficient man-made tree based bio-industries.


Eucalyptus planted forests absorb up to 1200 tonnes of carbon per hectare in 35 years / Los bosques cultivados de eucalipto absorben hasta 1200 toneladas de carbono por hectarea en 35 años / Gustavo Iglesias Trabado, Roberto Carballeira Tenreiro and Javier Folgueira Lozano / GIT Forestry Consulting SL, Consultoría y Servicios de Ingeniería Agroforestal, Lugo, Galicia, España, Spain / Eucalyptologics, information resources on Eucalyptus cultivation around the world / Eucalyptologics, recursos de informacion sobre el cultivo del eucalipto en el mundo / Image courtesy Bracelpa, Brazilian Pulp and Paper Asociation

A hectare of eucalypt cultivated forests can be up to 6 times more efficient sequestering carbon than other alternatives for a given time-span. (Bracelpa: Planted Forests, Vital Allies of the Planet)

Maybe the time has come to see sustainably managed planted forests like those of Brazil, a productive use of land, as an useful aid to increase carbon uptakes... and make them be part of the solution.

Maybe the time has come to see timber crops as one of the highest yielders of current and future positive externalities within the available options for a productive use of land.



Brazilian pulp and paper industry uses renewable fuels up to 85%, a timber fueled industry / La industria de celulosa y papel del Brasil usa hasta un 85% de energia renovable, su energia es la madera / Gustavo Iglesias Trabado, Roberto Carballeira Tenreiro and Javier Folgueira Lozano / GIT Forestry Consulting SL, Consultoría y Servicios de Ingeniería Agroforestal, Lugo, Galicia, España, Spain / Eucalyptologics, information resources on Eucalyptus cultivation around the world / Eucalyptologics, recursos de informacion sobre el cultivo del eucalipto en el mundo / Image courtesy Bracelpa, Brazilian Pulp and Paper Asociation

During the last 35 years the Brazilian Pulp & Paper Industry has jumped from 51 to 85% for renewable energy over total energy consumption. (Bracelpa: Planted Forests, Vital Allies of the Planet)

Maybe the time has come to start seeing the eucalypt based pulp and paper industry as a global timber-fueled bio-refinery industry able to sustainably manage the land base that yields renewable and recyclable materials we all use everyday at once that walks towards zero fossil fuel generated carbon emissions.

Maybe the time has come to see what a tree is. What a tree can give. If used wisely.

Obama praises Norway & Brazil's fight against deforestation

Obama Praises the Brazilian Amazon Fund

President Barack Obama arrived in Oslo early this morning on his journey to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg welcomed Obama to Norway by means of a working breakfast with views towards Oslo's skyline before thanking him for and urging him three times to keep moving forward in the global fight against climate change as an investment for future world peace.

The U.S. President acknowledged his presence in Copenhagen next week for the United Nations Climate Change Conference would be an important step for a truly global strategy in this sense.

After remembering the bond between both countries through the huge Norwegian-American community back home, Obama praised the joint initiative of the governments of Norway and Brazil to monitor and try to minimise deforestation rates in the Amazon Basin.

Norway has become one of the main financial investors in the preservation of one of the largest remaining virgin forests of the world through a yearly 100 million US$ contribution to the Amazon Fund, a piece of the National Plan on Climate Change launched by Lula last year aiming to keep reducing deforestation rates. The amount of non released carbon stored by preserving the Amazonian forest with this contribution is expected to equate 10 times all Norwegian emissions.

The Brazilian approach for forest preservation via stopping deforestation is parallel with a reduction of pressure on its native forests for industrial timber procurement. Suitable areas in the South and East of the country have become part of industrial tree crop polyculture systems using mosaic silviculture designs. These involve the sustainable management of fast growth timber plantations surrounded by interlinked ecological corridors that aim to preserve the basic functions of native ecosystems within those areas scheduled for a predominant timber productive function.
