SoluBio presents a success story at the Global Carbon Market Congress

The production of bioinputs on farms contributes in different ways to the decarbonization of the environment and, on Thursday (19/04), SoluBio's Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Mauricio Schneider, explained how this happens, in addition to presenting the solution provided by the company at the Global Carbon Market Congress.

According to Schneider, bioinputs increase soil biodiversity, contributing to its regeneration and boosting carbon capture and storage capacity. He used a study carried out by the Paraná Forest Research Foundation, with different times of use of Biological Management Onfarm from SoluBio, which showed that there are significant differences in Carbon and Nitrogen stocks in the soil when compared to chemical management. 

“The research showed that the longer the period of use of Biological Management Onfarm of SoluBio in the area, the greater the amount of Carbon and Nitrogen stock, highlighting the participation of bioinputs in the sequestration of Carbon from the atmosphere”, he states.

Specifically, the study showed that the use of Biological Management Onfarm of SoluBio over 5 years increased the carbon stock in the soil by 34% when compared to chemical management. It also demonstrated that each year of this biological management has a potential increase of an average of 8%.

“In this way, in an area of ​​1 thousand hectares, it promotes an increase of 36 tons per hectare of CO2 equivalent per year (36 tCO2ep.ha-1year-1), when compared to chemical management. The equivalent of CO2 emissions from the combustion of 15.500 liters of gasoline and the annual CO2 sequestration of 2.250 fast-growing trees”, he adds.

Also according to Schneider, the production of bio-inputs on farms reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as it reduces the need for transportation and the amount of post-consumer packaging emitted into the environment. “It is estimated that 18 times less GHG is emitted into the atmosphere”, he concluded.

The Global Carbon Market Congress – Decarbonization & Green Investments takes place between May 18th and 20th, at Jardim Botânico, in Rio de Janeiro. The event is being held by Banco do Brasil and Petrobras, with institutional support from the Central Bank of Brazil, the Ministry of the Environment (MMA) and the Federal Government. Its objective is to debate the carbon credit market and present corporate and project strategies and cases to boost green businesses, with a focus on innovation and sustainability.
