The Autazes Project is expected to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions related to potash distribution by approximately 205,000 tons per year compared to overseas producers supplying potash to Brazil. This reduction is attributed to significantly shorter transportation distances, as potash is currently imported primarily from production facilities located 8,000 to 12,000 miles away in Canada, Russia, and Belarus. Transportation involves delivery to the port of Paranaguá, Brazil, with potash transported by train from production facilities to marine ports and then by bulk carrier to Paranaguá. Over 70% of potash imports enter Brazil through southern state ports, with Paranaguá receiving the highest volume, exceeding 3.3 million tons in 2023. The project will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by connecting local communities to Brazil’s national power grid, which generates approximately 80% of its power from renewable sources, replacing the diesel generators currently in use.
