Avoided Emissions Certificate
Prolec GE recently participated in Fiema Brasil 2025, one of the most important environmental sustainability events in southern Brazil. Held in Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul, on May 20-22, the 10th edition of this conference brought together industry leaders to showcase innovations and best practices in sustainability and attracted more than 8000 visitors.
During the event, Prolec GE received the Avoided Emissions Certificate as part of the ProAmb ReCO₂nhece Program, an award based on international standards such as the GHG protocol and IPCC guidelines that publicly recognizes companies that choose responsible waste disposal methods through blending for co-processing, a practice that significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. The program quantifies greenhouse gases prevented from being released into the atmosphere and recognizes companies that meet the certificate’s strict criteria.
In 2024, Prolec GE directed 169 tons of industrial solid waste to blending for co-processing — a technique used that replaces fossil fuels with energy-rich waste (refuse-derived fuel, or RDF). This action resulted in the avoidance of 14.18 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions, reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility through a circular economy in alignment with our business strategies that support reduction of environmental impacts across our operations.
Fiema Brasil is a realization of the ProAmb Foundation and is part of a movement that the foundation has been leading for almost 35 years: the purpose of leaving a better world for people and better people for the world. A leader in environmental solutions in Rio Grande do Sul and recognized for excellence in the provision of services, Proamb endorses, with its expertise, the promotion of a fair that is both a generator of business and a transformation of society.
