Additional information
The fuel consumption data - collected by Suzano in a mostly automated way - were converted into energy consumption from the basic density and the lower calorific value of each fuel. In this regard, when available, the data contained in the technical specification sheet for the fuel used were used. When not available, the values presented in the National Energy Balance (Ministry of Mines and Energy, 2021 - MME in Portuguese) were used.
In 2021, there was an increase in the consumption of energy in the same order as the increase in production at our industrial plants. In our logistics operations, there was also a lower consumption of gasoline as a result of its substitution by ethanol and ethanol blended in gasoline.
