Project scope and objective

The proposed financing consists of a long-term loan of at least R$280 million, with an 8-year term and 30-month grace period, so that Usina Cerradão (“Cerradão”) can increase its sugarcane crushing capacity from 4.2 million to 7 million tons/year. Such an increase in capacity will consequently allow the company to increase its production of sugar and ethanol, as well as its capacity to cogenerate electricity by 57%, by burning a greater volume of residual biomass (sugar cane bagasse).

 

The increase in energy consumption will still allow Cerradão to remain self-sufficient in its operational needs, in addition to allowing the company to increase its supply of clean renewable energy to the market by approximately 95%.

Escopo do projeto e rótulo objetivo

O financiamento proposto consiste em um empréstimo de longo prazo de até R$280 milhões, com prazo de 8 anos e 30 meses de carência, para que a  Usina Cerradão (“Cerradão”) possa aumentar a sua capacidade de moagem de cana-de-açúcar de 4.2 milhões para 7 milhões de toneladas/ano. Tal aumento de capacidade permitirá, consequentemente, que a empresa eleve a sua produção de açúcar e etanol, assim como de sua capacidade de cogerar eletricidade em 57%, por meio da queima de um maior volume de biomassa residual (bagaço de cana).

 

O aumento da cogeração enérgetica permitirá, ainda, que a Cerradão se mantenha autossuficiente em suas necessidades operacionais, além de permitir que a empresa aumente em aproximadamente 95% a oferta de energia limpa renovável ao mercado.
