Description

This project comprises of two different plants from Dori Alimentos. The head office is located in Marilia, Sao Paulo, and the subsidiary plant in Rolandia, Parana. Both produce candies. The project activity involves switching the fuel from shale oil to a renewable biomass that comes from peanut shells and wood chips, which is how GHG emissions are reduced. Before the replacement of shale oil, Dori Alimentos used to consume about 3,544 tonnes of shale oil in Marilia and 4,077 tonnes in Rolandia to generate about 47,843 and 55,041 tonnes/year of steam in its two boilers. The project activities started in Dori's head office in March 2005 and Dori's subsidiary company in December 2004. They are still using shale oil, but less of it. In both plants Dori Alimentos is using their boilers to produce 102,884 tonnes of steam and consume 2,354 tonnes of renewable biomass per month.
