RR-PP-110a.1 Total gross Scope 1 emissions
In 2025, Bracell’s Scope 1 fossil emissions accounted for 52% of the total, amounting to 976,020.89 tCO₂e, a 33% increase compared to the previous year. This increase was mainly driven by higher consumption of fossil fuels in industrial operations and an expanded wood sourcing radius in forest logistics, consequently increasing total diesel consumption.
The Company reports biogenic CO₂ emissions separately, including those associated with biomass combustion, the use of renewable biofuels in the fleet, the occurrence of forest fires, and the dynamics of eucalyptus management. In accordance with the GHG Protocol and the IPCC, these emissions are accounted for separately from fossil emissions, as they originate from renewable biomass that removes CO₂ from the atmosphere during its growth.
The inventory is prepared in accordance with the guidelines of ABNT NBR ISO 14064-1, the GHG Protocol, and the methodologies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with consolidation based on operational control, using 2025 as the corporate base year and applying the operational control approach. The greenhouse gases considered in the calculation of Scope 1 emissions were CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, and SF₆.
| Emissions (tCO2e) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
| Scope 1 | 597,454.00 | 731,362.80 | 976,020.89 |
| Scope 1 – Biogenic | 10,810,512.98 | 9,156,105.51 | 18,096,569.75 |
Note: The Scope 1 biogenic emissions above include stationary combustion (biomass), mobile combustion, agricultural activities, and land-use change.
