The energy that will power the International Poultry and Swine Exhibition SIAVS, held from August 9 to 11 at Anhembi Parque in São Paulo, will come from sources with zero CO2 emissions.2. 

This is because the Brazilian Animal Protein Association ABPA, organizer of SIAVS, has contracted I-REC, International Renewable Energy Certificates, for the event. I-REC is a global system for tracking the environmental attributes of energy and issues certificates that prove the origin of the renewable energy used. The certificates will be issued by Trix Energia, a participant in this edition of SIAVS. 

In practical terms, the traceability certificate confirms that the energy demanded by SIAVS was supplied to the electrical system from renewable sources. Each certificate represents 1 MWh, which in Brazil is equivalent to 60 kilograms of CO2 not emitted.

The initial projection indicates that nearly 1.5 tons of CO2, which would otherwise be emitted due to the event’s energy demand, will be offset through this system.

“The contracting of energy from renewable sources follows the purpose assumed by SIAVS in this edition, including through its main theme, ‘sustainable production: pathways to global food security’. This means that we do not want to focus only on messages, but on decisions that generate real impact. We are working with a vision that is truly aligned with the ABPA Program for Incentives to Sustainable Practices and with our production chain,” highlights Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA.
