GE Teobaldo is a small company located in Paudalho municipality, Pernambuco State, producing flagstones and bricks which supply the local civil construction market. In order to reach the necessary temperatures to fire the ceramic pieces, the factory used to collect 5,600 m3/year of firewood from the surrounding Caatinga biome. GE Teobaldo implemented the present carbon credit project with the goals of reducing its environmental impact and modernizing technology. This enabled the factory to invest in equipment enabling the switch of native firewood for renewable biomass in 2009, thus reducing GHG emissions and generating carbon credits. Furthermore, the factory reinvests the income into beneficial activities for its 60 employees and the wider community.
