Energy intensity refers to the amount of energy required to produce one unit of a product or service. We use the metric GJ/adt, or energy consumed per air-dried ton of pulp or paper produced.

Until 2023, we considered energy consumption outside the organization as referring to purchase electricity used in our own operations. Energy consumption at sites outside the operational boundary and not under Bracell’s direct control is not tracked withing our sustainability data management systems. We report energy use outside the organization through our greenhouse gas emissions inventory, under Scope 3 emissions, which cover pulp production and sales operations.

In 2024, Bracell Papéis began integrating its operations into the management processes and procedures of Bracell and the wider RGE Group. As a result, these operations were not included in the data collection scope of the emissions inventory and some operational data is unavailable due to priorities set for 2024. Unavailable data will be published starting with the 2025 performance report.

For the 2025 reporting cycle, Bracell will report data on energy consumption outside the organization and include paper production and sales operations in our GHG emissions inventory.

1. Energy intensity data is calculated based on the volume of electricity consumed per metric ton of product produced: kraft pulp and dissolving pulp. For confidentiality reasons, Bracell does not report production data. In 2024, Bracell Papéis began integrating its operations into the management processes and procedures used at Bracell and the wider RGE Group. As a result, operational data is unavailable for this report due to the processes prioritized in 2024. Unavailable data will be published starting with the 2025 performance report.
